- 2. ! Noor Bahjat Al Masri! ! ! Working from detailed sketches in a painterly expressionist style that is primarily applied to figurative subject matter, Noor Bahjat skilfully transitions between warm and cool palettes, in addition to detailed line work and saturated washes of paint, creating deeply atmospheric compositions. Influenced by postwar artists such as Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud, she captures the most inane of human actions, and elevates them to deeply compelling, intimate portrayals by focusing on the body as it seemingly undergoes transformation within the confined space of the composition.! ! Born in Damascus, Syria in 1991, Noor Bahjat now lives and works in the United Arab Emirates. Bahjat recently graduated at the top of her class from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Damascus. As Ayyam Gallery’s first young artist in residence, she has worked under the mentorship of Tammam Azzam and Mohannad Orabi, who maintain studios at the Dubai flagship of the international art space. Bahjat’s forthcoming exhibition at Ayyam Gallery Al Quoz will feature a selection of works produced during the residency. Although active in the Damascus art scene before arriving in Dubai, the exhibition will serve as her first solo venture.! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! www.ayyamgallery.com
