The Human Face: A Revelation

 features two concurrent exhibitions including

 thirty-one regional artists curated by Saad Ghosn. 

For the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas,

 “the human face is the epiphany of infinity.” 

It can be a spiritual revelation taking the viewer

 beyond the immediate,

 creating connections, bridging understanding and 

unraveling possibilities. For the creating artist 

it can be a communication tool,

 sharing feelings and emotions, opening horizons, 

and propelling both the artist and the viewer

 into the infinite future.

Curator Ghosn states, “the human face,

 its expression and its eyes,

 provide a direct and immediate connection to an individual

 whether familiar or not. It can trigger

 in the viewer feelings and emotions,

 open new horizons, relate to the spiritual; it can also, however,

 and unfortunately, be a reason for prejudice and discrimination.

 The artist can capture or recreate a human face,

 and for the same reasons as listed above,

 use it as an expressive communication tool.”

Placed side by side, the exhibition is made up of two components

 and provides a diverse selection of

 communicative artwork through a wide variety of media.

 The first, explores Gerard Pottebaum's color photographs

 of faces taken during his travels throughout the world. 

The second, is a group show including drawings and paintings

 by thirty artists who have past work dealing with the human face.
