Paris is a series the artist created during his time in the French capital, drawing direct inspiration from the city’s atmosphere, rhythms, and personal encounters there.
Never expected, an interruption changes the flow and suddenly you’re swept away on an opposing surface.

About Ghassan Zard
Ghassan Zard was born in 1954 and began his career as a dentist before turning to painting and sculpture. His practice has long explored themes of violence, fear, and abstraction, drawing on influences that range from Japanese literature to psychoanalysis. He has exhibited in Lebanon and internationally, including shows at Galerie Tanit and major art fairs, and his multidisciplinary work spans poetry, painting, and bronze sculpture.

Each collection by Ghassan Zard weaves together painting, sculpture, and installation into a contemporary dialogue where emotion, form, and imagination converge.
City Lights
City Lights unfolds as a lyrical meditation on distance, desire, and the haunting pull of the urban night.
Combining polished wood, aluminum and raw steel, Zard creates a bestiary of forms, interpreting the anatomy of reality to recreate a personal mythology.

Ghassan Zard’s exhibitions are immersive journeys that bring his collections to life, showcasing the interplay of painting, sculpture, and installation while inviting audiences to experience art as both reflection and discovery.
En Mutation
À l’occasion des Journées Européennes du Patrimoine, les jardins et terrasses de la Résidence des Pins s’ouvrent à l’univers sculptural de Ghassan Zard.
In this exhibition, Ghassan Zard reimagines the altar for our present, not as a site of devotion, but as a space of reckoning. Whereas his earlier works sought moments of playfulness and fleeting joy, here he turns to pain with unflinching directness,
“Whispers of Nature” is an invitation to step into Ghassan Zard’s imaginative realm, where the boundaries between the manmade and the organic blur into a seamless tapestry.
LA DÉCHIRURE focuses on the interruption we recently experienced. The works come from the in-between that follows the rupturing phenomenon.

On a Shore
The shifting states of marine environments form the point of departure for this exhibition, which, true to Ghassan Zard’s artistic practice, weaves together a triad of mediums: sculpture, painting, and drawing.
