Lana Khayat: Conversation With The Wilderness

The exhibition “Conversation With The Wilderness” bridges what is natural and what is constructed. The trees being the “natural” and the conversations with them depict the “constructed”.

Each stroke in Lana Khayat’s art is saturated with meaning and symbolism. Some compact strokes and monotones are indicative of moments when nature refused to enlighten her and was rough beyond understanding. Whereas longer and colorful strokes reflect the days when the conversations with nature would flow smooth as a stream and there was nothing but gratitude and love. The abstractness of her art is synonymous to the unpredictability of her encounters with nature. The artist dreams to inspire people to discover the depths of nature where nothing is mundane and everything has a meaning.
