Youssef Aoun is a Lebanese painter and printmaker. Born in 1965, he studied at the Lebanese University and the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He has been teaching since 1991 at Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts – Alba. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Dorothy Salhab Kazemi Prize for Young Artists at Sursock Museum’s Salon d’Automne and the Sharjah Biennial Jury Prize. Youssef Aoun, who claims to be a “son of the war”, recognizes the influences of Bacon, Picasso and Tapies. His paintings, which are formally abstract, are filled with symbols, materials and forms that evoke parts of the human body. This piece was exhibited in Wounds at Agial Art Gallery, Beirut, in 2012. This solo show disclosed dark and dense compositions. At the time of the Arab Spring, the artist had a strong feeling that the region was evolving into very difficult times. Youssef Aoun explains that the black colour progressively and unconsciously invaded his paintings.
