Description
Zena Assi was born in Lebanon, in 1974. She graduated from l’Academie Libanaise des Beaux Arts, worked in advertising and taught in several universities.
Her current work is inspired by the relations and conflicts between the individual and his spatial environment, society and its surroundings. The artist utilises various supports and mediums to document and explore the social and cultural changes and record the urban contemporary environment’s imprint as well as the impact of society’s ideologies and political tendencies. Motherhood is a great example of the struggles, worries and requirements of the contemporary Arab woman living in the midst of instability and conflict.
Assi’s pieces are part of different public as well as private collections including the Academie Libanaise des beaux Arts, Beirut; Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah; Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris. Her work has also won prizes including the Sunny Dupree Family Award for a Woman Artist at the 2020 Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, London, 2020; the Rosemary & Co Award at the SWA show, London, 2018; the Special Jury Prize of the XXIX of the Autumn Salon of the Sursock Museum, Beirut, 2009.
