Biography
Alfred Tarazi, born in Beirut in 1980, graduated with a degree in Graphic Design from the American University of Beirut in 2004. He furthered his artistic development during a residency at Krinzinger Projekte in Vienna in 2011. Tarazi’s multifaceted practice spans painting, photography, drawing, digital collage, sculpture, and installation, delving into the Lebanese Civil War and its impact on collective memory.
His work, which frequently incorporates historical, social, and geographical elements, has been exhibited internationally, including solo shows at Galerie Krinzinger in Vienna. Through a narrative-driven approach, Tarazi examines the intersection of past, present, and future, often addressing complex themes with unflinching directness. His pieces, such as the multimedia installation “The Lovers,” reveal the profound dissonance between disparate social worlds and are held in esteemed institutions and private collections globally.
