Rebirth Beirut is thrilled to announce its upcoming art exhibition, “Winks,” featuring the remarkable works of artist Samir Tamari and curated by Dr. Tony Karam.
The exhibition is set to take place at Rebirth Beirut’s cultural space in the heart of Beirut’s vibrant Gemmayze district. The opening night will be Friday September 1st from 6 to 9 PM and the exhibition will remain open from 2nd to 9th September between 5 and 8 PM (closed on Sunday).
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Samir Tamari discovered his passion for art at a young age, nurturing his talent through formal education in Art and Advertising Techniques in Montreal, Canada.
Tamari’s artistic philosophy is encapsulated in his statement, “I am not a painting’s technician; I paint to express myself.”
The exhibition’s theme, “Winks,” serves as an invitation to embrace life’s lightness and joy through ideas and colors.
Mr. Gaby Fernaine, President and Founder of Rebirth Beirut, expressed his enthusiasm for hosting such a meaningful exhibition: “At Rebirth Beirut, we take immense pride in promoting art and culture in the city as we believe it is the best image that we can give to Beirut”.
The artist himself shared his thoughts on his creations: “Life is a game,” and “That’s all folks.” These iconic paintings, brought to life with thoughtful precision, encapsulate the essence of the exhibition’s theme. Tamari encourages us to take life with a wink, to enjoy its fleeting moments, and to remember that, ultimately, our existence is a brief journey in the vast expanse of time.
Part of the proceeds from the exhibition will go towards supporting Rebirth Beirut’s initiatives, including the rehabilitation of traffic lights, street lighting, and other development projects that serve the beautiful capital of Beirut.
