Artist Statement:
Zaher El-Bizri is a young
Lebanese artist. He
specializes in painting and
mixed-media pictorial and
plastic arts.
He developed a refined
expertise in watercolors, in
oil paintings, charcoal
drawing, and graphic design,
with a highly skilled use of
Information Technology tools
besides classical artistic
media.
El-Bizri focuses principally
on representational and
pictorial depictions of
everyday scenes and quotidian
intimate public spaces, of
diverse characters and
portraits, while being
particularly inspired by the
Levantine Mediterranean
cultural milieu, and primarily
by the architecture of the
medieval quarters of the
ancient Lebanese port city of
Sidon (Saida). His artistic
endeavors explore the profound
promising potentials that
remain presently contained
within classical styles in
painting, as well as
experimenting with abstract
configurations in pictorial
art. His artistic activities
are also situated within urban
places, and they act as
inspirational catalysts for
stimulating dynamic cultural
practices in the public domain
in the form of installations,
sculptures, and series of
murals.
El-Bizri received his Diploma
in Fine Arts (Beaux Arts) in
2000, from the Lebanese
University in Beirut. His
prolific artistic productions
and creative works have been
exhibited on a regular basis
since 1998 in numerous
prestigious art galleries and
venues. He ...
