Created in 2011 in Beirut, Lebanon, Carwan Gallery now has a new space of expression in Greece, in the booming city of Athens.
Under the direction of Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and Quentin Moyse, both architects and creative entrepreneurs, Carwan Gallery is developing strong collaborations with cultural organizations, institutions and sponsors.
Present worldwide at the most important art and design fairs, Carwan Gallery is today considered a major player in contemporary design.
And when we discover the various artists with whom the gallery collaborates, we understand the reason for its choices. Among the designers represented, those of Roberto Sironi, a designer and researcher who lives and works in Milan, particularly caught our eye.
With her RUINS series, the artist conjures up the past through the use of architectural fragments from the Mediterranean basin, such as Palmyra in Syria and Baalbek in Lebanon, belonging to different historical periods. These pieces of ruin are then linked to elements of the industrial era. His works bear the scars of the past and, in an anthropological approach, reveal new perspectives. Fascinating.
Other great creations to discover include those by artist-designer Theodore Psychoyos.
He studied piano before taking a law degree at the Sorbonne, while studying sculpture at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. Is it this multidisciplinary culture that gives his works such a masterful blend of strength and mystical poetry?
A real, almost organic power, between mythology and modernity - simply masterful.
