These recent critical reassessments underscore Kanso\u2019s growing recognition on the international stage.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 23 July 2026, Lebanon will present the first major solo exhibition of Kanso&#8217;s work in the country of his birth.

He created paintings on the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Gulf War, Iraq, Syria, and other humanitarian crises. His paintings ask what remains, what history chooses to remember, and what responsibility we carry toward one another.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPEP2aegI8H\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <h3 id=\"h-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>    <h3 id=\"h-his-practice\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">His practice<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across more than five decades, Kanso never altered his vision in pursuit of acceptance. Painting was, in his own words, the condition that made life possible: &#8220;I live to paint. Without painting, I cannot function.&#8221;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DV_KhLMiIuI\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remaining faithful to that vision came at a personal cost. Kanso continued creating outside the commercial spotlight, guided by his belief in &#8220;producing art in the face of war, cruelty, and indifference.&#8221; Reflecting on Kanso&#8217;s lifelong commitment, Dr. Basel Dalloul, Founder of the Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF), recalls an artist whose relationship with painting never changed.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Nabil Kanso is an artistic giant and among the most important artists of our time. Painting for him was life. Now, more than ever, it is essential that we exhibit his work in Lebanon and across the globe. Kanso\u2019s iconic visual language communicates a message of peace and gives us a window into the soul of humanity that must be seen.&#8221;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saleh Barakat, founder of Saleh Barakat Gallery and a leading authority on modern and contemporary Arab art, knew Kanso personally and believes time has only strengthened the artist&#8217;s relevance. &#8220;He was speaking about these things fifty years ago. We weren&#8217;t ready to listen,&#8221; Barakat said. &#8220;It took us decades to understand what he was trying to tell us and now it\u2019s time for the world to open its eyes to Nabil Kanso.&#8221;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DaxR8OsoExI\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-for-daniel-and-lilly-kanso-who-established-the-nabil-kanso-estate-following-their-father-s-death-in-2019-the-exhibition-responds-to-a-hope-their-father-carried-throughout-his-lifetime-bringing-his-paintings-to-beirut-marks-kanso-s-first-solo-exhibition-in-the-country-where-his-story-began-beyond-introducing-these-paintings-we-wanted-people-to-know-the-man-behind-them-his-compassion-his-curiosity-and-his-unwavering-belief-that-art-could-build-bridges-between-people-says-dr-daniel-kanso-this-exhibition-is-as-much-about-who-nabil-kanso-was-as-it-is-about-the-work-he-created-over-more-than-five-decades-the-works-on-view-illuminate-his-deeply-held-belief-that-realizing-our-shared-humanity-and-interconnectivity-is-essential-to-life-itself\">Daniel and Lilly Kanso established the Nabil Kanso Estate following their father&#8217;s death in 2019. &#8220;Beyond introducing these paintings, we wanted people to know the man behind them: his compassion, his curiosity, and his unwavering belief that art could build bridges between people,&#8221; says Dr. Daniel Kanso.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-for-daniel-and-lilly-kanso-who-established-the-nabil-kanso-estate-following-their-father-s-death-in-2019-the-exhibition-responds-to-a-hope-their-father-carried-throughout-his-lifetime-bringing-his-paintings-to-beirut-marks-kanso-s-first-solo-exhibition-in-the-country-where-his-story-began-beyond-introducing-these-paintings-we-wanted-people-to-know-the-man-behind-them-his-compassion-his-curiosity-and-his-unwavering-belief-that-art-could-build-bridges-between-people-says-dr-daniel-kanso-this-exhibition-is-as-much-about-who-nabil-kanso-was-as-it-is-about-the-work-he-created-over-more-than-five-decades-the-works-on-view-illuminate-his-deeply-held-belief-that-realizing-our-shared-humanity-and-interconnectivity-is-essential-to-life-itself\"><\/p>    <div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h3 id=\"h-nabil-kanso-documentary-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nabil Kanso Documentary (2026)<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the exhibition, viewers can also explore Kanso&#8217;s remarkable life through the official <em>Nabil Kanso: Darkness and Light<\/em> documentary. Combining rare archival footage with insights from leading figures in the Arab art world and members of Kanso&#8217;s family, the documentary was produced by DAC and offers a powerful introduction to the artist&#8217;s enduring legacy.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A8E7zWnr58Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"A8E7zWnr58Q\">   <div class=\"play-button\"><\/div>  <\/div>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <h3 id=\"h-the-long-awaited-homecoming\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The long-awaited homecoming<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Darkness and Light (Part I)<\/strong> brings together paintings from <em>The Split of Life<\/em> series alongside a range of works and archival material spanning the 1970s to the 2010s. The exhibition features major paintings inspired by the Lebanese Civil War, including the cover image of Kanso&#8217;s twenty-year retrospective monograph, <em>Lebanon<\/em> (1983), <em>Lebanon 1977: Vortices of Wrath<\/em>, and <em>Blazing Vortices: Lebanon Summer of 1982 (Sabra and Shatila)<\/em>.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running concurrently as part of <strong>Darkness and Light (Part II)<\/strong>, the DAF presents all 242 drawings from <em>Leaves from the Theatre of War<\/em>, executed between 1980 and 1992. Together, the two spaces offer the most comprehensive exhibition of Kanso&#8217;s work ever presented in Lebanon. &#8220;Seeing these paintings in Beirut is especially moving because this is where so much of their story begins.
