A new exhibition titled “ESSAI” kicked off at the Carwan Gallery in Beirut on 12 December. Showcasing a collection of uniquely designed sculptures, we got a sneak peek.
Sculpture by Mary-Lynn Massoud and Rasha Nawam
The exhibition presents the latest ceramic sculptures by Mary-Lynn Massoud and Rasha Nawam as well as a selection of former works. Mary-Lynn and Rasha, who both studied ceramics, have delved into the world of creativity, unpredictability and endless possibilities. They have been collaborating since 2007 and have participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions in New York, Paris, Dubai, Basel, Milan, Monaco and Beirut.
Sculpture by Rasha Nawam and Mary-Lynn Massoud
The ceramists’ creations are the striking outcome of instinctive trials and investigations into just how these materials react under specific conditions. Mary-Lynn and Rasha have been working with materials such as stoneware (a broad term for pottery and other ceramics fired at relatively high temperatures), glass, golden-like iron powder, porcelain and glaze. Once the materials are put under various conditions, each of them reacts in a specific, unpredictable way, allowing them to grow, fold and naturally form into marvelous pieces.
The exhibition runs throughout December 2017 from 7- 9 pm, and upon request during the months of January and February 2018.
