This November, Ans Azura is honored to present its latest season showcasing a dynamic range of artworks from renowned figures and emerging talents of the Middle East.
This carefully curated collection explores the enduring creativity that has flourished despite—or perhaps because of—the region's political upheaval, war, and deep-seated uncertainties. From the profound, emotive canvases of renowned figures like Paul Guiragossian, Chafic Abboud, Nabil Nahas and Helen Khal to the bold, fresh perspectives of rising artists, this auction captures the diverse yet interconnected narratives of resilience and resistance. These works, ranging from haunting depictions of war and exile to militant expressions of identity and defiance, bear witness to the struggles and hopes of their creators.
These artists, navigating their different national contexts, have turned to their art as a lifeline, a form of survival, therapy, protest, and militancy. Whether from the hands of a celebrated icon or a promising newcomer, each piece speaks to the unyielding power of artistic expression in the face of adversity, offering a unique insight into the heart of a region in flux.
