About the Item

B. Yaghi is a Lebanese contemporary artist born in 1984. Having lived in several countries, B. Yaghi soaked up the rich cultures of Beirut, London, Miami and Dubai, and was immersed with the various art worlds the cities had to offer. From the start of her career, the artist emerged with works that can appeal to an international audience and became known for creating large canvases showcasing an ability to conquer the wall in a cohesive and structured manner. B.Yaghi’s style embodies the spirit of “action painting” and is personalized with the addition of her signature details. The result is a recognizable style made of balanced strokes, precise splashes and detailed romantic elements. The works give off an allure of spontaneity, but are anchored down with intent and a strong form. B. Yaghi’s paintings carry both a lightness and a darkness, invoke feelings of harmony, but also interruption, and depict structure within chaos. B.Yaghi’s work is strongly influenced by the 20th century movement of art coming from within oneself rather than revolving around a subject matter, which was led by masters such as Jackson Pollock for Abstract- Expressionism. Utilizing the art movement characterized by free-associative gestures, B. Yaghi launched her work and coined the term “mind-scapes”, a depiction of mental landscapes portrayed as aesthetic blueprints of ones intricate thoughts and emotional process. After multiple solo exhibitions, and taking part in the world’s largest and most prominent art fairs, like Basel Switzerland, Art Miami, Zona-Maco Mexico, the Palm Beach Contemporary Show and Paris Contemporary, B.Yaghi’s work penetrated the international art scene and gained recognition as “purposeful” and “hard to get out of”. “I hope to always create pieces that invite the viewer in. To enchant a person with a painting is a moment where magic overpowers logic. That is the moment I create for.” B.Yaghi

Ben Abounassif was born in Caracas in 1964 to Lebanese parents. He graduated from Tennessee Tech University in 1987 with a B.A. in Business Management. Abounassif's first contact working in the art world was in 2006 when he launched Leiter Gallery in Miami, a short but successful experience as a co-owner working along with Cuban-born, Miami-based artist Sinuhe Vega Leiter, and Venezuelan-born internationalist & journalist, Jesus Rojas Torres. Abounassif's innate creativity was highly influenced by working closely with local artists and by visiting their studios and launching exhibitions at Leiter's, the only gallery in the U.S. that paid a living tribute to the late Cuban musician, Israel “Cachao" López. A year later in 2007, Abounassif exhibited his first art cube on Photo Miami '07 with Hardcore Contemporary Art in Wynwood. In 2008, Miami art dealer...

MAT. Y V
Located in PARIS, FR
Youri Leroux comes from the North of France, a region whose landscapes have seduced so many artists. Born in 1972, now married with three children, he is characterised by his reserve, his typical northern France inwardness and his sentimental attachment to his family and his origins. From a very young age, he showed great interest in art and any thing that gave free reign to his imagination. He attended classes offered by painting workshops At the age of sixteen, he went to the Saint-Luc Institute in Tournai (Belgium) where he studied new arts teaching and met famous artists. He later attended architecture and design classes. After gaining his diploma in 1999, he joined an architect’s office in Lille (France) where he worked principally with volume, colours and the enhancement of light. His first exhibition was held at Le Masquerel (France) and included fifteen artists. He sold his first paintings. The highlights of 1997 and 1998 were his wedding and the birth of his first child. His painting evolved, his work focused more on the curves of the female body and the plumpness, sensuality, shapes and shadows that it emanate. After traveling in North Africa, be began to focus on his backing material – sand was a very successful and impressive medium, giving the viewer the urge to approach and caress his paintings. In 2000, he traveled to New York, where he feasted on verticality and asymmetries that were in sharp contrast to his supple work on the female body. In early 2001, encouraged by true art lovers and the success of his paintings, he left his job as an architect to devote himself to his art. He subsequently applied these geometric ideas in a literary theme, more intimate and reassuring – perspectives, depth, repetitions, an enormous library or just three books with straight lines and the effects afforded by contrasting materials. Looking out from his open workshop, many things inspire him. Through the lovely Breton coast, he reveals to us his third pictorial theme – the combination of feminine curves and asymmetric libraries suggest old sailboat...
