Die libanesische Künstlerin Huguette Caland (1931–2019) widersetzte sich in ihrer fast fünfzigjährigen Karriere konsequent den gesellschaftlichen und ästhetischen Erwartungen ihrer Zeit. Ihr vielseitiges Lebenswerk aus drei Kontinenten steht im Mittelpunkt der in Kooperation mit dem Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía realisierten Ausstellung.

Mit rund 300 Werken eröffnet die Schau A LIFE IN A FEW LINES in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg vom 24. Oktober 2025 bis 26. April 2026 einen neuen Blick auf Calands Schaffen. Sie thematisiert ihren Widerstand gegen soziale und sexuelle Normen und ihren Umgang mit einem Leben zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen und Orten.

Calands künstlerisches Leben war geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen in Beirut, dem freigeistigen Paris und der Bohème in Venice, Kalifornien. Diese Orte spiegeln die politischen, kulturellen und sozialen Strömungen ihrer Zeit wider und beeinflussten ihre Werke nachhaltig. Ihre Kunst – oft sinnlich und mutig – befasst sich mit Themen wie Gemeinschaft, Urbanität, Liebe, dem Älterwerden und der Suche nach Identität.

Ihre Werke – farbenfrohe Gemälde, zarte Zeichnungen, Skulpturen und Textilien – spiegeln eine rebellische, lebensbejahende Haltung wider, die Konventionen rund um Schönheit, Begehren und weibliche Identität infrage stellte. Calands faszinierende Mischung aus Abstraktion, figurativen Darstellungen und explizit erotischen Motiven war ihrer Zeit voraus. Heute gilt Caland als Ikone weiblicher Emanzipation und als Inspiration für Künstlerinnen weltweit. Ihre Arbeiten sind in Sammlungen bekannter Museen wie dem Centre Pompidou in Paris, dem British Museum oder der Tate in London zu finden.

The Lebanese artist Huguette Caland (1931-2019) consistently defied the social and aesthetic expectations of her time during her almost fifty-year career. Her multifaceted life's work from three continents is the focus of the exhibition realized in cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. With around 300 works, the show A LIFE IN A FEW LINES at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg from October 24, 2025 to April 26, 2026 opens up a new perspective on Caland's work. It focuses on her resistance to social and sexual norms and her approach to life between different cultures and places.

Caland's artistic life was shaped by her experiences in Beirut, free-spirited Paris and bohemian Venice, California. These places reflected the political, cultural and social currents of her time and had a lasting influence on her work. Her art - often sensual and bold - deals with themes such as community, urbanity, love, ageing and the search for identity.

Her works - colorful paintings, delicate drawings, sculptures and textiles - reflect a rebellious, life-affirming attitude that challenged conventions around beauty, desire and female identity. Caland's fascinating mixture of abstraction, figurative depictions and explicit erotic motifs was ahead of its time. Today, Caland is considered an icon of female emancipation and an inspiration for female artists worldwide. Her works can be found in the collections of well-known museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the British Museum and the Tate in London.

Really liking this so far
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this about twice a week and usually leave it on for around 2 hours before washing my hair. First thing I noticed was that it’s thick and moisturizing without making my hair feel oily or weighed down. A lot of hair oils I’ve tried in the past left my roots greasy, but this one doesn’t. After I style my hair, it definitely looks shinier and feels fuller with more body. My ends also feel softer and less dry. I only need a small amount each time, so the jar should last a while. The smell surprised me in a good way too. To me it smells kind of like coffee or peanut butter. It has a natural scent and isn’t too strong. I know hair growth products take time and I’m realistic about that, so I’m planning to keep using it consistently for a few months before judging those results. But based on how healthy and manageable my hair already looks, I’m happy with this purchase so far.

Moisturized without feeling greasy
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Been using this Batana Oil for a few weeks and my hair already feels thicker, softer, and healthier. I’ve noticed less shedding and my scalp stays moisturized without feeling greasy. You can tell it’s natural and high quality. Definitely worth trying if you’re dealing with thinning or breakage.

So Far So Great
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Super excited to add this product into my hair care regimen. The batana oil has a mild but pleasant smell. The oil is more of a paste so I don’t have to use much. On days when I layer products, I like to oil my scalp and hair strands and apply the batana oil to my ends as a sealant. I also apply it to my hairline and scalp sometimes. So far it has made my hair feel and look moisturizer, soft and fuller. I’m very excited to see the positive effects that it has long term. I was encouraged to apply the product from the plethora of positive reviews. And the fact that batana oil is proven to be great for hair health.

Moisturizer type 4 hair
Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4.05 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This oil provided my type 4 hair a lot of moisture. The texture of this product is moist. It worked for me when I needed the extra moisture to pull back my hair or to stretch my hair prior to twisting or braiding. I used it about 3 times a week. I’ve had it a months and I still have almost 1/2 a jar left. If you are looking for shine, this one provided shine but only after I brushed it. Overtime it helped my hair be easier to work with. The smell is okay - nothing overbearing that interfered with my own perfume. Look at the picture and you can see that it came sealed very well. Buy it and see for yourself how great it is.
