Ayman Baalbaki
Born1975
Odaisseh, Lebanon
NationalityLebanese
OccupationLebanese painter
Known forExpressionist works depicting warriors with veils or casks as a symbol of the endless conflict in the Middle East

Ayman Baalbaki (Arabic: أيمن بعلبكي; born 1975) is a Lebanese painter. He studied at the Lebanese University and at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. His large-scale expressionist portraits of fighters made him one of the most popular young Arab artists.[1]

Painting

[edit]

Born the year the civil war started in Lebanon, Ayman Baalbaki draws most of his inspiration from these events.[2] His paintings often depict destroyed buildings, sometimes occupied by refugees who were forced to leave their homes during the combats. After the 2006 Lebanon War he drew series of scattered structures related to the demolitions consecutive to the bombings of Beirut's southern suburbs.

Ayman Baalbaki's most popular series depict warriors bearing veils or casks. These portraits of anonymous figures became a symbol of the endless conflicts in the Middle East. These paintings have been widely exhibited worldwide, including the 2011 Venice Biennale.[3] In 2012, Baalbaki participated in Hoods for Heritage, a project consisting of 16 Porsche 911 hoods transformed into art works by artists and designer and auctioned on benefit of the Beirut National Museum.[4]

Installation works

[edit]

Although better known as a painter, Ayman Baalbaki produced notable installation works. While at École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, he presented Les Frigos (2001) a container enclosing a luggage. Nomadism is a recurrent theme in his work and will appear in more recent works such as Destination X, that was featured in Arabicity (2010) an exhibition curated by Rose Issa in Liverpool’s Bluecoat and Beirut’s Beirut Exhibition Center. Destination X is an old Mercedes-Benz red car, reminding Lebanon’s antique taxis service, loaded with a mountain of luggage as a symbol of the upheaval caused by the war.[5]

Auctions

[edit]

Ayman Baalbaki, who is represented by Saleh Barakat's Agial Art Gallery in Beirut has witnessed growing success in auction sales: In March 2009, a Abel was presented at an Auction Doha with an estimate of US$20,000–30,000 and was sold for $60,000.[6] In October 2009, an untitled painting was proposed Dubai for US$15,000–20,000 and was sold for $74,500.[7] In April 2011, Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom was proposed, also in Dubai, for US$50,000–70,000 and was hammered for $206,500.[8] In April 2013, a new record was set as "Ya'ilahi" (Dear Lord) went to US$377,000 at Sotheby's.[9] In March 2014, A large painting entitled "Babel" was presented at Christies with an estimation of $150,000–200,000; It realized $485,000.[10]
