Three Lebanese artists—Huguette Caland, Dorothy Salhab Kazemi, and Afaf Zurayk—each redefined modernism through deeply personal practices shaped by history and upheaval. Kazemi’s manipulated stoneware explores form, deformation, and memory; Caland’s paintings fragment bodies and charge the void between shapes; Zurayk’s layered pigments create temporal spaces where memory and presence emerge and dissolve across the canvas.
