About the Item

Fatima El-Hajj, born in Lebanon in 1953, graduated from the Lebanese University’s Fine Arts Institution, the completed a second degree at the Leningrad Fine Arts Academy, and finally finished her schooling with a degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. She then taught at the Beirut Fine Arts institute from 1985 (the year she was awarded the Picasso Prize in Madrid) until 2017. Since 1986, she has shown regular exhibitions in Lebanon, Spain, and France, as well as in other Arab countries where she is often recognized, such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, Marrocco, and Qatar. Her work is present in the IMA’s permanent collections, among others. Her paintings show an absence of concession, a search for a personal world, for a harmony that is born from contradictory sentiments, between tranquillity and revolt, dreams and doubt. She paints most often in a large scale, on canvas or panels, as comfortable working with oils as with acrylics. As a colorist, she does not ignore the effects of her materials. Movement, light, and suggestions of form work together in her pieces, sometimes to the point of taunting abstraction. The exhibition “The Gardens of the Soul” offers a faithful summary of the work of Fatima El-Hajj, who is seen in her country as the fruits of her French schooling.It is, however, important to note that, having been born and raised in the East, and as she lives there now, she has naturally known to stray from the “orientalist stereotypes” that are ultimately nothing more than a superficial glimpse of one culture upon another, with its inevitable distorted prism, and its received ideas. However, such a classification would be insufficient by far. We must instead find within her art a bridge between two worlds, the East and the West, the visible and the invisible, a style of painting that aligns itself with the universal goal of art."

On the Edge (HOME 44)
Located in PARIS, FR
Maysaloun Faraj is an Iraqi/American born (1955) London based painter and sculptor.  Growing up between the USA (1950s-60s), Baghdad (1970s) and London (from 1982) with intermittent bouts in Paris, collectively contributed to shaping Faraj’s creative output and artistic accomplishment. Graduated with a BSc in Architecture, University of Baghdad (1978) and went on to study sculptural ceramics at Putney School of Art and Design and was resident at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2015/17/18). Displaced by decades of war, deeply rooted in Iraq, Faraj’s work contemplates the intersection of place and identity and explores the dynamics between overarching societal concerns and the highly personal.  Her visual vocabulary is colour and basic geometric forms; an ideal realm for harmony and order.  Amid an aesthetic informed by architectural discipline is a complex web of references bridging East and West, ancient and contemporary, often pondering on ‘spirituality’ and the transience of human existence. Her career spans four decades with work in various mediums, creating subtle interplay between two and three-dimensional forms. Furthermore, Faraj has been an integral figure in the rise of the modern Middle East Art scene; curatorial work includes the first international showcase of Iraqi art (tour UK/USA 2000-3) exploring  the work of pioneering Iraqi artists and subsequent generation. She is editor of the seminal publication  Strokes of Genius: Contemporary Iraqi art...
