HAIBAT BALAA BAWAB "Haibat Balaa a cherché à modifier les règles préétablies des Arts plastiques en voulant exclusiment poursuivre une oeuvre secrète, sans provocation, qui ne cesse de s'ensoleiller avec l'emploi du seul collage, élevé par soins d'art à part entière." "Une vraie mosaïque. Tout un art d'exécuter cet assemblage. Sa composition appliquée, le goût de la couleur, l'attention aux détails, tout se conjugue pour déclencher une gaieté exubérante, un amour qu'on croit respirer." ____________________________________ Lebanese artist, Haibat Balaa Bawab graduated in 1975 from Beirut University College (now Lebanese American University). In 1982 she was awarded the unique prize from the Central Bank for designing the Lebanese currency. She was an art instructor at LAU from 1987 till 2001 when she earned a post at AUST where she is currently an art coordinator. Haibat has participated in numerous solo and collective exhibitions in Lebanon, throughout the Middle East as well as in Europe. Haibat constructs imaginative abstract works using paper clippings in an innovative technique. By affixing abstract cutout pieces from printed media in a figurative composition, she gives her collages an illuminating existence. Her current exhibition, "Cutouts" consists of 45 figurative collages.
