Description
In Untitled 3 (2015), Tarek Butayhi employs chaotic, impressionist brushwork to evoke spontaneity. His use of soft, light pastel hues on canvas, traditionally linked with femininity, hints at a satirical take on the age-old view of women as muses in art. He offers his own contemporary rendition of the female form and identity.
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.
