The exhibition inspired by the recent political uprisings in the Arab world, see \u201dspeeches\u201d being swirled in circles of rhetoric being expressed during recent times!<\/p>\n<p>   \u2018Culture reaches abyss as well as art enters its own catastrophic words; for those that want to see Sabhan Adam\u2019s artworks, it can not be seen by big black Arabian eyes, green or blue eyes, via sunglasses nor contact lenses. Who only sees it, are those eyes filled with tears\u2019.<br \/>   Sabhan Adam<\/p>\n<p>   The tortured creatures reflecting our humanities loneliness and desperation are still prominent, however in the forefront new subjects are revealed with playfulness and vibrant colors. Sabhan\u2019s interpretation of \u201cLittle Miss Red Riding Hood\u201d takes the viewer back to child hood memories.<\/p>\n<p>   \u2018In 2012, animals of different species; kangaroos, donkey\u2019s, birds, comic people who are sad idiotic, harmless; that is what I currently tend to depict, it is a disbelief in the human reality and the obscurity of its equations\u2019<br \/>   Sabhan Adam<\/p>\n<p>  Interchanging colors between, red, white and black. He alternates the spirit of each painting. Painting\u2019s inspired by the poetic masters of the 19th century reveal a romantic, spiritual and softer side to Sabhan. Extracting his favorite parables, and poems, expressing them through the beautiful Arabic font of calligraphy. Paintings show creatures peeping at you appear to be smiling and more regal.<\/p>\n<p>   \u2018From the very first moment- birth -I remember the first breath, the present and the future have always been a past. Everything that has been happening was already known with every event and each detail, it deceptively appears to the other -the viewer-what lies in a painting is a texture, a fabric or paints. Nevertheless, it never has been it is always a piece of a wounded heart; it is the fractured pain into textile and lines and colors. In my early years, the high price I paid was misunderstandings and isolation, a room with no windows, that is who I am, that is who I was, where future seemed to be past, and when what I predicted, and what I have imagined, has happened in reality. Art reveals the hidden and gives thoughts a better way\u2019 Sabhan Adam<\/p>\n<p>   \u201cThe Awakening\u2019 will take you on a journey through Sabhan\u2019s world: Mark Hachem Gallery invites the public to share in his wonder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Special Formula:<\/strong>Opening, 2nd of February at 18:00 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibition will showcase Sabhan Adam\u2019s most recent paintings: and for the first time Sabhan enters into a new period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":539542,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-14123","directory","type-directory","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Awakening<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The exhibition will showcase Sabhan Adam\u2019s most recent paintings: and for the first time Sabhan enters into a new period.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/en\/directory\/the-awakening-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Awakening &#187; Beirut.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The exhibition will showcase Sabhan Adam\u2019s most recent paintings: and for the first time Sabhan enters into a new period.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/en\/directory\/the-awakening-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Beirut.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beirutcityguide\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/14123.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@beirutcityguide\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/\",\"name\":\"The Awakening\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/ar\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/14123.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-02-02T00:00:00+00:00\",\"description\":\"The exhibition will showcase Sabhan Adam\u2019s most recent paintings: and for the first time Sabhan enters into a new period.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/14123.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/14123.png\",\"width\":400,\"height\":300},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/the-awakening-2\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/ar\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Directories\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/en\\\/directory\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"The Awakening\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/ar\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.beirut.com\\\/ar\\\/\",\"name\":\"Beirut.com\",\"description\":\"Beirut.com is your insider guide to Lebanon, with the best in food, culture, neighborhoods, and everything new.
