Description
This artwork vividly captures a dynamic scene where two figures, dressed in pattern-rich attire, engage in a tug-of-war with a perch laden with vibrant, diverse birds, seeking peace. The background is awash with a striking, deep magenta, setting a dramatic stage for the action. The birds, portrayed in an array of lively colors—greens, yellows, and blues—flit energetically around the figures, infusing the piece with movement and life. This juxtaposition of human interaction and avian freedom creates a tension between control and chaos. Each bird, meticulously detailed, symbolizes the unpredictability of nature amidst human endeavors. The artwork's unique texture and color palette enhance its surreal, dreamlike quality. This composition challenges the viewer to consider themes of competition, harmony, and the interplay between human and natural worlds. The striking use of color and texture makes this piece an engaging standout in contemporary art.
Presentation
Born in Beirut in 1952, Haibat Balaa Bawab received her BA in Fine Arts in 1975 from Beirut University College (now LAU) and has taught there for 17 years. From 2001 until 2022, she has been the Fine Arts Coordinator and instructor at the American University of Science and Technology (AUST).
This exhibition focuses on a series of Mixed Media Collages and Oil Paintings that reflect a range of current subjects, memories encountered in day-to-day life, which are reflections of topical issues and moments.
Haibat’s process in these Mixed Media Collages involves making papers from textures and motifs that she prepares using different media and techniques. They are multimedia in form, still dominated by Collage themes.
Haibat Balaa Bawab has had multiple solo exhibitions and has participated in several collective exhibitions in Lebanon, Grand Palais de Paris, and many Arab countries. In 2019, she was invited and participated in the 8th Biennale in Beijing. A monograph of her work entitled: "Haibat Balaa Bawab The Art of Collage" was published in 2012.
