About Me

" Born and raised in Lebanon, Charbel abou Zeidan was shaped by an environment characterized by pronounced contrasts: between tranquility and chaos, the aesthetic and the raw, the refined and the traditional.

These tensions have fundamentally influenced his approach to form, aesthetics, and meaning.

 

Based on his training in architecture and experience in fashion, Charbel's practice lies at the intersection of structure, surface, and form.

He works with materials such as silicone, latex, charcoal, pastel, and paint, balancing industrial and visual materials.

 

Opposition is a central tenet of his work: color and monochromy, plane and volume, the organic and the graphic. Color is used consistently and intentionally, not as a decorative element, but as a means of generating layering and tension. Furthermore, Charbel focuses attention on typically hidden or subordinate aspects of the production process, such as serged seams, the reverse side of the canvas, and materials rarely considered autonomous.

 

The artist's work is characterized by a tactile and precise approach, in which experimentation plays a significant role. It forms a hybrid practice in which architecture, fashion and visual arts converge and merge into its own coherent visual language."
