In this show, Mojé Assefjah, Zena Assi and Alexandra Jabre, three talented artists take you on a journey through the diverse dimensions of 'home.' Each brushstroke and image serves as a window to their unique worlds, inviting you to explore the deep connections they have with their cherished roots.

Step into a world where three talented female artists graciously share glimpses and fragments of their homes through their artistic creations.

Moje Assefjah is a skilled visual storyteller. With her use of the traditional technique of egg tempera, she paints windows revealing the world beyond. Through her brushstrokes, she kindly invites us to enjoy the beautiful vistas of nature that touch her soul reminiscent of patterns found in Persian carpets or the draperies of the Baroque era, using the canvas as a portal to her connection with the world outside her window.

Alexandra Jabre is a brilliant artist with a deep connection to her beloved London. Her art captures the heart of the city she calls home. Alexandra's work resonates with the city's rhythm, and she effortlessly conveys the essence of home, blurring the lines between private and public life. She reveals the intimacy amidst the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle.

Zena Assi is a painter whose creations are a vivid tapestry of her homeland, Lebanon in dialogue with the vision of London. Through her art, she brings to life the cities that define her roots. Zena goes beyond the surface, adding meaningful details that reflect Lebanon's rich history, from the scars of war and displacement to the vibrant pop culture that colours daily life. In this exhibition, these three talented artists take you on a journey through the diverse dimensions of 'home.' Each brushstroke and image serves as a window to their unique worlds, inviting you to explore the deep connections they have with their cherished roots.

About the Hosts

Galerie Tanit

Galerie Tanit

For over forty years Galerie Tanit has played an important role in introducing American artists to German audiences and beyond. Galerie Tanit was founded by Naila Kettaneh-Kunigk and Stefan Kunigk in Munich in 1972. The program of the 1980s and early 90s focused on showing artists from the minimal, conceptual and arte povera movements such as Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Carl André, Robert Ryman. In 2007 it opened a second home in Beirut with an intention to participate in the cultural and artistic revival of Lebanon. The program of the gallery gradually shifted to a younger generation of artists and introduced international artist like Jeremy Blake and Michael Lin to local audiences.
