Dissolution #1 is a continuous of an earlier series, where the the artist conveyed their personal journey through the maze of grief and imminent loss. The painting depicts the idea of the body fading, symbolic of the soul becoming dominant as the corporeal disappears, its form disappearing into the background, just as the body disintegrates into dust.

Painted in light layers of oils, there is a transparency to the body, as if, instead of fading away, perhaps it never existed at all. Hefty-Khoury's bodies are deliberately genderless, faceless. They exist without an identity as they represent the universality of being and experience.

Elizabeth Hefty-Khoury is a London-born artist and writer who is currently based in Valencia, Spain. She holds an MFA in Fine Art – Painting from the Art Institute, California, and an MA in Welsh/Celtic Studies from the University of Wales.

 

Her abiding love of history and literature has led to a body of work that has a strong narrative structure, combining elements of comparative mythology and poetry with an examination of cultural dichotomies and conflicts which mirror her own mixed cultural identity. She is especially interested in the analyzing of similarities and differences in Northern European and Middle Eastern myths, legends and symbols. The past and its reinterpretation in the present is a theme constantly reoccurring in her painting and writing, drawing not only on the theoretical but also on her own experiences. Her latest works include the combining the expressions of drawing and writing, reimagining obscure Celtic symbols within the context of contemporary feminism, and a visual and literary journey through the streets of Beirut.

 

Elizabeth is the co-owner, with her husband Ibrahim, of Bloom Gallery in Valencia, a gallery and art space focusing on bringing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern artists together and developing collaborations between the arts in the two regions.
