Miryam Haddad

Born in 1991 in Damascus, Syria, Miryam Haddad has been living and working in Paris since 2012. Miryam Haddad’s artwork discloses, for anyone willing to look closely, a thrilling adventure: that of a very young artist who harbours two equally intense words: the abstract world of writing that conveys a message, and the incarnated world of painting that invites us to share an emotion without recourse to speech. Miryam Haddad’s works are like aurora borealis caused by the collision of solar particles from her native East Orient with the terrestrial atmosphere and magnetic fields of painting as practiced in Europe and America, and their radiance does not happen by chance.

To avoid any narcissism the gallery will not bear a name, but instead mark of the end of a century during which the Fine Arts are exhausted of unknown practices and forms, Art: Concept was born. In 1997, the gallery joined its friends in the 13th district of Paris to be part of the adventure of the brand new rue Louise Weiss. Despite unforgettable years in this district, the move to the Marais was inevitable. Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past ...

and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you.
