Charbel-joseph H. Boutros

About

The essence of Charbel-joseph H. Boutros’ practice is sculpting invisibility and treatingit as a material. In his oeuvre, invisibility subtly weaves intimate, geographical, and political narratives, re-questioning the role of an overtly engaged artist and finding poetic lines extending beyond the realm of existing speculations and realities. For H. Boutros, each exhibition is a new geography that reformulates reality. At Galeria Vera Cortes, H. Boutros constructs an exhibition looking at itself. The exhibition is comprised of two independent bodies; the first is composed of a new production, that projects towards a speculative future, the end of art; the second,conceived as a portrait is a dense constellation of the artist’s older body of work.
