Description
Butayhi’s Floral Longing (2014) depicts a woman with a relaxed posture, exuding an aura of unapologetic comfort. The artist’s deliberate use of rough brush strokes infuses the piece with a raw, unrefined energy that juxtaposes the women’s composed demeanour – perhaps a poignant commentary on the discrepancies between women’s subjectivities versus societal expectations placed on them.
Tarek Butayhi (b. 1982) is a Damascene painter. His mastery lies in his brushwork and vibrant colour palette, yet his work also takes on a social dimension. Depicting women’s figures that defy convention, perception of the female body remains a main subject in his work. Stylistically, he liberates his subjects from clichéd poses, offering a testament to the unfiltered realities of life. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Painting in 2006 and has since held group exhibitions in his homeland, Lebanon, Cairo and participated in various solo exhibitions in Syria and Kuwait in 2006.
