About the Item

"I grew up as the middle of five kids. We would yearly visit my grandmother in Alabama and later in Tennessee. She was an artist and her house was full of paintings, which was formative to my belief in being an artist, myself, at an early age. My father was an architect, but he also made paintings when he was younger, and these always hung in our home. My work comes from looking at what is around me. I like to use familial subjects...There is an aspect of a personal chronicle to my work in that it contains my family and the places in which we find ourselves; but in regard to the making of the work, I think of these as a backdrop to something that I find visually compelling. My goal is that the work is multi-dimensional--that it exists simultaneously as personal history, textural surfaces, and constructed images."

"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné
By Katherine Bakhoum-Tisné
Located in Culver City, CA
"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné Katherine Bakhoum represents art that has been forgotten for a long while. She draws upon the concept and the subject of the orientalism and the enchantment of that period. Through her work we can feel the researches she has done to reveal her Egyptian origins and the magic and power of the bygone times. Katherine Bakhoum has succeeded in imprinting her own stamp to evoke a new world full of charm, nostalgia and magic that is deeply implanted in her canvas. Her power dwells in creating her own style of contemporary expressionism building upon the old orientalism. Katherine Bakhoum’s art comes up out of an Egyptian childhood and from the distance of a life spent in France. What is left unsaid is as important as what is shown. Decorative yes, as in old orientalism, when everything was texture and what wasn’t texture was veiled, a reincarnation of old spirits, dervishes, orientalist motifs and the stuff of a once powerful civilization, the better to suggest it all might just come to life again. The choice of ancient subject matters, the echo of orientalist pieces in the collages, like the echo of the appeal of ancient gestures, of foreign lands, and domestic tapestries, all this weaves up out of Katherine Bakhoum’s creations. Sometimes we only have the line of a horizon on which to hang our imagination, sometimes we only have the trace of a profile in the shadows. What we always have is a persistent belief in beauty. Where there is beauty, there is hope. Katherine Bakhoum has abandoned neither. SOLO EXHIBITIONS Claudine Legrand Gallery: Annual exhibitions from 1996 to 2016 Safar Khan...
