Georges Bassil, Born 1965, Lives and works in Beirut, Lebanon.
Georges Bassil is a self taught Lebanese artist whose practice
centers on the emotional landscape of the human gure,
particularly the female form. Since beginning his career in
1995, Bassil has developed a singular visual language rooted in
intuition, sensitivity and poetic restraint.
Eschewing formal academic training, he draws from internal
impulses and emotional states, allowing his practice to evolve
organically and intimately
Working primarily on warm toned fabrics, Bassil renders translucent bodies that seem to hover between
presence and absence. His gures often detached from time or place exist in quiet solitude, untouched
by the gaze of the viewer. They re ect a world of interiority and stillness, one where thought, memory,
and sensation coexist in delicate harmony.
Bassil's use of diaphanous layers and pale pigments evokes a sense of impermanence and spiritual
distance, while his brushwork channels the ephemeral nature of feeling itself. Through a practice both
minimalist and emotionally charged, he invites the viewer not to interpret, but to witness to encounter
without judgment, and to dwell in the suspended space between vulnerability and detachment.
