In her solo exhibition, Your Sun That Kept Setting, Chafa Ghaddar explores landscapes as evolving fragments.
Inspired by the ancient fresco technique, Ghaddar paints on fresh lime plaster, preserving each artwork as a unique “day’s work” or "giornata". Her approach redefines fragments not as partial remnants but as complete expressions, each piece symbolizing the whole.
The exhibition presents a panoramic landscape that resists a defined beginning or end. Ghaddar uses recurring soft peach and light tones to evoke the transition of sunsets, portraying the sun as a metaphor for light, fleeting moments, and encapsulated emotions. This interplay between completion and incompletion invites viewers to consider the sunset as a space between endings and new beginnings - an ongoing, elastic moment.
By integrating limestone, acrylic, and oil, Ghaddar’s works capture the beauty and complexity of these ephemeral moments, allowing them to be contemplated, extended, and held within her landscapes.
