Artist Profiles
Fahed Halabi
Avigdor Lieberman, 2010, acrylic on canvas
Fahed Halabi (born 1970 in Majdal Shemesh) currently lives and works in Paris. Defining himself as a Syrian artist born in the Golan Heights under Israeli occupation, he tries to express this sociopolitical complexity in his works by addressing questions regarding his identity and the conflict that situates him on the border between two different cultures and worlds. “Albeit a tiring place to reside, it never fails to interest me,” he writes.
Halabi graduated from Hamidrasha Art School in 2006 and since then had several solo exhibitions in venues such as Dear Noga Art Window and Hamidrasha Gallery in Tel Aviv, Fateh Modarris Art Center in Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, as well as in exhibition spaces in Bilbao & Guernica, Spain. His works have also been displayed in various group exhibitions worldwide, at institutions such as geh8 gallery, Dresden; Memoire de l'Avenir Gallery, Paris; The Herzliya Museum, The Jaffa Museum, and The Gefen House, Haifa. As part of an Israeli-Palestinian Artists delegation to Switzerland in 2007, his works were exhibited in "Fishing Metaphors in The Sea of Life" at Jourparjour Compagnie.
