About the Artist

Charbel-joseph H. Boutros is a significant Lebanese artist whose conceptual practice is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and profound engagement with themes of absence, memory, and the invisible. His work often utilizes ephemeral materials, light, sound, and a strategic use of darkness or sensory deprivation to create highly immersive and introspective experiences. Boutros’s art frequently alludes to the socio-political realities of his homeland, addressing conflict, displacement, and collective trauma through subtle, poetic interventions rather than explicit representation. He invites viewers to confront the limits of perception and the silent narratives embedded within spaces and materials, fostering a deep, almost meditative, engagement.
