Untitled
Lebanese artist Melissa Chalhoub is known for her expressive drawing style. Using fine-lined inks, she draws mostly in black and white with a few bright colors. The reoccurring figure in her work has been a constant subject since her childhood. It appears alone or in crowds, bending and curving, sometimes in a heightened state of emotion or situated in a scene. Abound in symbolism, like in “Untitled” her work leaves the interpretation open, making the meaning of the work individual to every viewer.
