Farah Khelil: Car la figure de ce monde passe
Past exhibition
Overview
lilia ben salah gallery presents For the Fashion of this World Passeth Away[1] [Car la figure de ce monde passe], a solo exhibition by artist Farah Khelil accompanied by curator and art critic Andréanne Béguin.
Conceived as an echo, between the image demonstration and its elaboration, the exhibition unveils new works while building on the artist's ongoing conceptual practice through formal and visual experiments. Farah Khelil embarks us in the making process of an image, intimate and cultural, mental and pictorial. We enter it from the landscape, which the artist deconstructs, distills, covers, obliterates to better liberate it through painting.
With the support of the 
Centre National des Arts Plastiques to the galleries/exhibition.
