L'Orient Le Jour published Edgar Davidian's review Dans ses fresques, il y a des cactus on 13 July 2021, on Chafa Ghaddar's exhibition Cacti in a daydream at Galerie Tanit, hors les murs, in the Starco district of Beirut.
Davidian writes about nineteen fresco works, opening with the artist giving the cactus presence and life. The exhibition is not a Tabari show; the piece notes that Ghaddar is living in Dubai. The gallery is not named. This French review is the companion, in date and subject, to a Selections Arts feature on the same Beirut exhibition, which could not be added because the Selections site is offline.
Cacti in a daydream was on view until 18 September 2021.
Davidian writes in French about fresco as a living surface, and about cactus as a figure of resilience and daydreaming in the new works. Ghaddar had already been living in Dubai when the Beirut show opened.
Tabari represents Chafa Ghaddar.
