In this exhibition, Lebanese-Armenian artist James Dekermenjian paints the landscapes of Lebanon as he experiences them, vivid, urgent, and alive in all their variety. In this body of work, wildflowers sit alongside the towering cedar trees of Lebanon, not as precise as botanical studies, but as translations of what it feels like to stand in the middle of this abundance, where colors push against each other and light shifts constantly across leaves and petals.

Dekermenjian captures spring not as a gentle postcard scene but as an intense, fleeting presence, a season that bursts forward in color and form before fading into the heat of summer. The landscape in the artist’s work is alive with the energy of emergence, capturing the constant push of life forward and the fleeting intensity of nature’s awakening.

Through LOST IN BLOOM, we see Lebanon’s flora as living, breathing characters in an environment that is constantly in motion emphasizing spring as a force of rebirth and growth, where nature feels charged with renewal. What emerges is not a fixed view of the living world, but an ever-shifting vitality that resists containment. Join us for the opening on Thursday, September 11 from 6 to 9 PM at our gallery space in Mar Mikhael.

The exhibit will subsequently run till September 26.
