RANIA SAADE, or the Revival of Romanticism in Neo-Cubism.


Rania Saade, a
Lebanese artist on her way to the top. Lyrical early neo-cubism
compositions come to life through autonomously well-structured forms and
evocative colors escaping the frontiers of creative imagination and
nostalgic expressions. She studied in the Near East, yet her art encompasses
universal, multidimensional esthetical definitions and multilayered genres
of various abstract periods. The world of her palette offers warm and
humanistic sceneries and landscapes of her beautiful Lebanon, as well as
magnificently projected avant-garde visionary universe of lost and captured
lyrical surrealism. Saade's art is sublime in its abstract form, warm in its
relation to nature, facades of old houses she cherishes and challenging in
its dialogue with intriguing collage. Rania Saade is a first class artist
paving the way of unsurpassed creativity to a new generation of talented
artists in the Near East. Her work is a great addition to the world of
contemporary art. Saade is a name to remember and revere.
