New Contemporary Gallery Opens in Beirut

 

Belvedere Art Space is an international contemporary art gallery located in the heart of downtown Beirut, Lebanon. It hosts a large selection of artworks in different mediums by established and emerging contemporary artists from all over the world.

It was started by a passion the two founding partners, Aal Chammaa and Nour Jarmakani had in common for contemporary art and their desire to bring this art to their home country. Both founders have complemented their interior design degrees with art history and curating certificates from the UK and the US and have been building portfolios and purchasing artwork for clients for several years.

Their main focus and passion is art from North America and the African continent but their extensive travels, client base, and work have brought them to an understanding and true admiration of art from all over the globe.

With a diverse yearly exhibition program and an educational program that involves seminars from artists and industry professionals to give both art collectors and art amateurs more insight into the international contemporary art world they are very excited to share this passion with both their local, regional and international community.

New Series Debuts: FUTURE PRIMITIVE

James Verbicky has a new series: FUTURE PRIMITIVE. These works are the first media paintings to contain newer materials, though still sourced from foreign and rare texts. They contain a mirrored or kaleidoscopic composition, a new direction for the media paintings.
