Avril 2015. Abu Dhabi Art Fair, United Arab Emirates. My first encounter with the work of Gebran Tarazi on the stand of the very famous Agial Art Gallery, Beirut. Immediately struck by the radicality and dizziness of this geometrical and above all metaphysical abstraction; it’s like a Sufi poem with its incantations, its chanting and its repetitions. I didn’t know then that, two years later, the monograph on Gebran Tarazi would become Zamân Books’ second publication.
