Miryam Haddad @ Art : Concept

February 16, 2018 

2-TIMES • Art
Miryam Haddad,
‘Désordres’
@ Art : Concept
— 

‘Populated by 
facetious, even 
ridiculous characters, 
that indulge in all 
kinds of festivities 
and simple 
pleasures, in a 
joyous chaos...’ 

Education: 
École nationale 
supérieure des 
Beaux-Arts, Paris. 

The exhibition: 
Is Damascus-born 
Miryam Haddad's 
first solo with 
Art : Concept in 
Paris, featuring 
a new series of 
the artist's vibrant
and color-soaked 
figurative oil
paintings. 

“... Haddad's
protagonists
engage in a
parody of
happiness that
betrays a profound
impossibility 
— 
Their emotions
are also parodic
and contradictory,
indecipherable
even, because
pushed to such
an extreme that
we do not even
distinguish between
laughter and tears,
joy or anguish.”
