Cathy Tabbakh

Cathy Tabbakh

Born in Lyon, France, Cathy Tabbakh is a Franco-Armenian painter based in London.

For the last five years, portraiture has been her main style of expression. Keeping her abstract influences from De Staël to O’Keeffe, she captures the essence of the sitter through the tainted poetry of oil paints.

Tabbakh displays an acute attention to form portraits, subsequently refining her own visual vocabulary that emerged through the focus between femininity, warmth and dream, including a growing mystery of darkness.

Since 2012, Modigliani and De Lempicka have remained major sources of inspiration, trying to capture the exuberance of each sitter’s sight and aura through their coloured eyes and imagination.

“Rouge-Red” is her first exhibition in London (at Map Studio)
