Description
Zena Assi is a Lebanese artist. Born in 1974, she studied at Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (Alba). She says that her practice “draws inspiration from the relations and conflicts between the individual and his spatial environment, society and its surroundings.” Assi is the recipient of many honours, including the Sunny Dupree Family Award for a Woman Artist at the 2020 Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, London and the Special Jury Prize of the 2009 Sursock Museum Salon d’Automne in Beirut.
Zena Assi is known for her depictions of the city of Beirut with a multiplicity of details and elements. In this recent painting entitled Stonehenge, megalithic rocks are put on top of each other in a precarious equilibrium. This fragile scheme is inspired by Beirut, which always survives when it is on the verge of collapsing. The Lebanese capital appears, with its chaotic constructions and its resilient inhabitants on the top of this composition.
