THE ASCENT

148.5 x 148.5cm; 58 1/2 x 58 1/2in
150.5 x 152cm; 59 3/4 x 60in (framed)

Painted in 2012

Property from a Private Collection, London

Provenance
The Running Horse Gallery, Beirut, 2012

Kalache is an interdisciplinary artist who draws on her daily life for her materials, process and content. Born in Beirut, she pursued her art education abroad, receiving an MFA degree from California College of Arts, San Francisco. She has since exhibited in Beirut, Berlin, Brussels, Istanbul, New Orleans, Oakland, San Jose (USA), San Francisco, Tehran, Athens, London and Paris. Her work has also been shown at art fairs including MENART fair, Art Dubai, Abu Dhabi art fair, Drawing Now (Paris), and Gwangju Art (South Korea).

Kalache's work interrogates the separation between the private and public spheres, and more specifically, what she calls, 'the banality of daily rituals'. Recently she has explored female desire and the abject in relation to truth, and the possibility of positing futurity in an era of perpetual presentism. Her recent work has also been influenced by her relocation to California in 2021.
