Artlab, in partnership with The British Council Lebanon through CATAPULT.visual'arts, is glad to invite you to Elias Nafaa's solo exhibition "Impulsions".

In a forced state of stillness and solitude, “Impulsions” emerged uncontrollably through a series of actions that externalized an internal state of mind. A coping mechanism that provided comfort in times of turmoil.

The exhibition is the outcome of a process that the artist began in early 2021, with a series of forms unfolding over a year, in one continuous act. The work presented favors a fluid, impulse-driven approach where thoughts, feelings, and anxieties project onto sheets of paper without any intention to conform to pre-established modes of representation. This act reclaimed the artist's intrinsic natural tendencies as the main drive for his expression. The images transcended reality and became an escape to one of their own.

The exhibition highlights a fragment of these impulses in a chronological progression from January 2021 to March 2021 and invites visitors to experience this act in space.
 

Opening on the 14th of April from 5pm to 8:30pm.

Opening times: Tue-Sat from 11am to 2:30pm and 4:30pm to 7pm.
