In a guiltless search for happiness, “Chronicle”, a collective exhibition of three emerging artists from Lebanon,Paula Chahine, Nayla Kai Saroufim and Marcel Rached, curated by Singapore’s Sana Gallery, tells a beautiful story about dialogues;

Between the Middle East and the rest of the world;

Men and women;

People and the sea;

Children and parents;

Machines and us;

“Chronicle” is a commentary on our day and age of silent, loud, spiritual, material, overt, covert, direct and indirect connectedness and communication.

The three artists use different techniques, ranging from pop art combined with mixed media, acrylic on canvas and photography.  Their fresh approaches combine lush layers of paint, ink, airbrush, watercolors, glow in the dark paint, LED lights and photography.
