Daniele Genadry (b. 1980, Baltimore, Maryland) works with painting, photography and print, to examine conditions and contemporary forms of seeing, particularly those present in postwar Lebanon. Her practice considers the potential of an image to generate its own temporality (light), and to create a mediated field of vision that sensitizes our consciousness. Often based on landscape motifs, the paintings seek, through their material surface, to act physically on the viewers' eyes, requiring a time of focus and adjustment, in order to apprehend the (painted) image. Their aim is to give a heightened and intense view — and an image form to a particular quality and force — of presence, fragility and disappearance.
Daniele Genadry studied at Dartmouth College, NH and at the Slade School of Art, London. She has participated in residencies at the Cite Internationale des Arts (Paris), Bronx Museum, Anderson Ranch Art Center (USA), Fondazione Ratti (Italy), and Frans Masereel Centrum (Belgium), and was the Abbey Scholar at the British School at Rome (2013–14), a fellow at the Bogliasco Foundation (IT, 2019) and at the Camargo Foundation (2021). Recent exhibitions include: IAIA (NYC), National Museum of Beirut, Biennale Gherdeina (IT), GAMEC (IT), Artist Rooms at Jameel Arts Center, Beirut Art Center, Centre Intermondes, Sharjah Biennial 13, Biennial del Sur, MUCEM, Sursock Museum, SMBA, Bronx Museum and Fondazione Pastificio Cerere. She was a recipient of the 2023–24 Munn Artist Fellowship award in Giverny, FR, and currently lives and works in Paris, France and Beirut, Lebanon.
