IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FEELINGS, SENSATIONS, THOUGHTS

EXPECTATIONS AND DREAMS ARE FREQUENCIES THAT

RESPOND TO COLOURS, SHAPES AND FORMS THAT ARE

EMBEDDED IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS . WHEN I PAINT I TRY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES

THROUGH THIS VIBRATION OF

COLORS. THE DISCIPLINE OF MY

DISTRIBUTION OF MY MEMORIES

IS REFLECTED IN THE PAINTINGS.

THE ECSTASY I FEEL AFTER THE COMPLETION

OF EACH ARTWORK IS THE BASIS OF A NEW

CREATION AND A PROCESS OF SPIRITUAL

GROWTH. TO SHARE THIS JOURNEY WITH

MY VIEWERS IS MY ULTIMATE JOY IN

THE BRIEF EXPERIENCE WE CALL LIFE.

IT IS MY HOPE THAT MY PAINTINGS WILL

ENHANCE THE AESTHETIC FREQUENCIES OF THE

VIEWERS TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF THEIR PRESENT

CONSCIOUSNESS, ENABLING THEM TO SEE THE

BEAUTY OF THEIR GENETIC IMPRESSION IN

THE ABSTRACT FORMS AND SHAPES CREATED.

FAYEZ BARAKAT the artist is unknown to the world. He has painted in secret for over sixty

years. Only a few museums and fellow painters have seen his work. This is his first

exhibition. His decision to go public is unexpected and exciting. He has 5000 paintings

behind him. “Always I intended to keep them in hiding”. What you see before you is

exactly that - Abstract, yes, but radically different from Jackson Pollock, Williem de

Kooning, Sam Francis, Juan Miro, the talents of our time. Fayez Barakat is his own man

and an important ‘new’ painter - one who has started work in the 1950s in Jerusalem and

California yet whom nobody has known about. This is a dramatic moment.

Barakat is famed for running one of the world’s prime businesses in Islamic, Egyptian,

Chinese, Khmer, pre-Colombian and Graeco-Roman antiquities from galleries [located in]

Abu Dhabi, London and Los Angeles; the company was founded in 1864 after Roman

dishes were excavated by Fayad Barakat, great-grandfather of Fayez, in the family

vineyards at Hebron near Jerusalem. But across thirty of the last sixty years, Fayez

Barakat has been also a secret painter – secret, in the sense that he has never exhibited

and still owns the vast majority of his 4000-plus abstract paintings. This secrecy is coming

to an end. Fayez has taken a huge space in the Khalidia Palace in Abu Dhabi and in this

exhibition unveils to the world his lifetime’s achievement as an artist. He is doing this

not just because it deserves to be shown; plainly, he ranks high in the league table

of 20th/21st century Arab artists. He has gone public also at the urging of critics and

scholars who are amazed at his stylistic variety and quality of execution, and who find it

hard to believe that a painter of this merit has worked alone, and unknown, for so long.

THIS IS ABSTRACT ART.

But it is an abstraction that stands outside any obvious Western tradition.

Only a lazy gaze could relate Barakat’s highly individual work to the paintings of Jackson

Pollock, Willem de Kooning or Sam Francis. He paints, most of the time, more thickly

and densely and with much richer colour than the American abstract expressionists. He

places highlights and dark lights in unexpected places, places which show little interest

in the Western sense of proportion and the golden mean. His paintings are more

powerful and explosive in mood than most abstracts by Pollock and de Kooning and they

I N T R O D U C T I O N

are more elegant than those of Francis. They have their own language and they are

born of visions and drives and compulsions within him that Fayez Barakat does

not wholly understand.

This is where he talks like no other artist I have met and where his revelations fascinate.

“When I am not painting I feel lost,” he said after the spring surge in London which

produced nearly 270 paintings.

“Something powerful is overflowing here, something beyond my own comprehension

drives me to achieve. I feel at times I am a medium, that something is tapping into me.

I receive a lot of subliminal messages that I seek to share.” These are promptings that

creative spirits know and Barakat finds extraordinary words to describe what is not easily

described in his act of creation. “A musician’s ear resonates to sounds and to fields of

energy when he composes. A poet’s ear responds to the good uses of combining words.

An artist’s eye resonates to colour and to combinations of colour. They move him to

create an energy field that has form, substance and identity.”

This “submersion in an energy field” which Fayez feels as an artist is, he believes,

something a viewer can achieve too.

“If you stand in front of some of my best works, you can enter a state of oblivion”. When

I ask what oblivion means, Fayez replies, “…unconsciousness of what is going on around

you”. Abstract paintings do indeed take you to a different dimension, the dimension of

discovering yourself, who you are in relation to the world you are living in. They can

reach into our eyes and souls, into places where words are insufficient to describe and

lose clear definition. Of all forms of art, abstract art comes closest to music, to expressing

the inexpressible. That highest sensation of the mind, what musicians call listening to

“the music of the spheres”, is something that abstraction comes closest to delivering

among all forms of art.

How, exactly, does abstract art enter the soul? Fayez Barakat believes that it rouses a

sense of “the ideal” within us.

Without knowing the ideal, we lack a deep sense of pleasure or fulfilment. Our souls

and bodies yearn for the ideal and seek it in many forms - in supreme wine and food, in

Page 15: Fayez Barakat

great music, in the touch of a close friend or lover. The ideal we find in communion with

Nature, standing before a sublime landscape or climbing a high mountain, is no less

fulfilling. All nourish our souls.

And all of us are different. The art, the music, the wine that speaks to my deepest

feelings and fulfilment will not be the same as whichever speaks to others. So too with

abstract paintings. “Sometimes I create art works that may have meaning for just one

person,” says Fayez Barakat. “Others may look and see nothing. I am confident that

something that my mind reproduces subliminally or subconsciously is an image of

something that exists somewhere in the world. It is a resonance of something that exists

or I could not paint it. It is a message to someone”.

BARAKAT was a great friend of Chagall and watched him paint in Jerusalem in the 1960s.

He was acquainted with Chagall’s granddaughter Bella. Perhaps he saw in Chagall’s

studio how densely colours could be combined. Or perhaps it took his own courage and

imagination to use colour as he does.

These paintings are passion, they are made with a frenzy of reds, golds, yellows,

turquoises, pinks, violets, blacks and oranges. They exude a desert heat. So frenzied

are they that in some paintings, these colours fight.

Fayez likes that. “The majority of Old Master painters apply only three to five colours,”

he observes equably. “But I have 30 or 40 bottles.” I raise my eyebrows; is this the

world’s largest palette? This large number does not make an artist’s life easier, it makes

it infinitely harder. “It takes a true master,” Fayez continues, “to mix more than five

colours in a painting and for a viewer still to consider it beautiful.” Some of his

pictures, like Celestial Knights, Orange Recipe and Blossom on a River Bank are so

overloaded that they serve as dictionaries of colour. When his multiple colours work,

the effect is like no abstract art anyone has painted before. When they don’t, harmony

– important to beauty, whatever beauty is – is the first casualty. The parts become more

beautiful than the whole. Fayez confesses to composing many of his highly coloured

images in his sleep.

“Sometimes they come like a flash. Sometimes if I have an idea I jump out of bed at 3

or 5AM and attack the canvas. I have to; if I don’t, I become sleepless and restless. These

| 13 |

Page 16: Fayez Barakat

visions are never concrete images, sometimes they are only thoughts. And they come

only if I have gone to bed thinking and dreaming of colour and of the rhythm of colour.”

His pictures are not all products of the dark hours. So how does he start a picture by

day? “Sometimes I take a bottle and splash. Or I throw paint and see what happens.

Or I squeeze a tube and move the colour about with a sponge.” Accident starts it, as it

does for many abstract artists. Drive takes over.

Colour is only half the explosive power in his works. Their frenzy – note the urgency and

attack in the abstracts in this exhibition - comes also from whirling, slashing

brushstrokes and from convulsions in the paint like nuclear fissions and explosions.

Barakat accelerates this speed and attack by big-brush jabbing, by building heavy

piles of impasto and by mixing primary reds, blues and yellows in combinations that

often assault the Western eye. In some pictures the paint is wheeled, in others

bottled. In some it implodes and descends into vortices, in others it bubbles in atomically

tinted clouds. Sometimes the artist drips his colours, or puddles them, or throws

or combs or skeins or dots them. At times mad, childlike faces appear within

the abstraction. When Fayez is at his most intense and uncontrolled, he digs into

and excavates the paint. Viewing his abstracts is no peaceful or relaxing experience,

as he is the first to admit.

THAT THESE PAINTINGS are emotional is obvious. “The best art comes from emotion,”

Fayez declares. But he admits to something more: to the presence of the irrational in

them, to a sense that he is driven to paint by a force outside himself and to a belief that

some of his paintings are “messages”.

“Lately, I have been through scary experiences. I have felt a powerful source of energy

pushing me. It comes in the form of positive spirits and negative spirits, of angels and

devils. The colours resonate for me.” He pauses; this is not easy to explain. “The

energy I feel is translated into a vibratory frequency which leads me to choose this

colour or that. Sometimes I feel as if I have stepped on a spirit.”

Shakespeare believed that the air was full of fairies, benign and malicious. I ask if the

source of energy behind his paintings is outside him or within him. Fayez is troubled to

answer. “I am gradually developing spiritually, developing in my mental sensitivity. But

Page 17: Fayez Barakat

there are many things I do not understand.” He pauses, at length. “Sometimes when

I get deeply involved, I feel that another person inhabits my body. I feel another person

is painting and not me.” He then admits to something astonishing, something that

embarrasses him. “I once painted 50 pictures in one day. 50! Non-stop! It lasted

seventeen hours. Honest to God, it was scary.” I do not ask for an explanation, and

Fayez does not offer one, except to say: “there is a source so minute that in science we

call it an atom. If you multiply the atom it becomes my painting.”

Few artists talk like this. Fayez Barakat is unusual among painters whom I have met in

his ability to translate abstract art into words. Artists are visual, not verbal people and

most cannot begin to describe their art in words. Fayez is also unique for talking as if

his paintings were external to him, as if they had a life of their own. “They feel like DNA

prints of my own emotions. They have their own energy fields. Every painting is a lesson

to me.” He stops to reflect. “This is very satisfying to my senses.”

What is this powerful thing that overflows in him? Self-expression, yes. But is he also

a medium for something in somebody else?

“It is a beautiful thought. If the right medium took over I could be more famous than

Picasso. Well, if I am a medium, I am happy to share with the world the beauty that

I see in life.”

ABSTRACT ART is of course “life” and not just art - Fayez Barakat’s life. Some of his

paintings are violent, some burn with passion, others exude a pink-sugared calm. Fayez

accepts this. He is not easy with the phrase “abstract art”, denying that it is what the

term supposes; “there is no abstractness”. There is always something external.

Picasso’s paintings, though not abstract, point to his angers, passions and furies, to his

loves, loyalties, successes, triumphs and catastrophes, to his pains across a 92-year life.

No less do the images of Fayez Barakat. All his life is here. They define the man.

Fayez Barakat has lived a hidden life as an artist but intends to reveal in forthcoming

books some of the human dramas that explain and underpin his art. “I will do it not just

to enlarge the meaning of the pictures. I will do it in hope that the story of my life will

help others to live,” he declares.

Page 18: Fayez Barakat

The art that now bursts forth in his mature years is bottled-up creation. “For three

decades I did not paint, I kept my art in my head, Mrs Barakat did not like the

smell of paint” he explains. Is he angry that this happened? Though not painting,

Fayez was not idle these thirty years. Drawing on the Barakat family background

in antiquities, he monopolised the market in the Old City of Jerusalem, buying out

the stock of thirteen rival dealers when hardly out of school. At age 18 he became

a self-made millionaire. In the next ten years he acquired a large range of funerary

objects from Hebron, Middle Bronze Age to Byzantine, creating a wide-ranging

personal collection and becoming dominant among the world’s antiquities dealers.

His gallery in Los Angeles, home of a major Greco-Roman collection at the

Getty Museum, came in 1982, his gallery in London in 2003. Barakat’s scholarly

research and expertise in antiquities and Chinese art are widely attested. Yet in

all these years, his deepest passion lay away from the gallery. It lay in what was

forbidden to him, in paint.

Fayez Barakat is by origin a Palestinian. He has lived in California for 30 years. “I am

a citizen of the world,” he declares, “a very free spirit”.

Do his remarkable paintings stand in the Arab or the Western tradition? They stand in

both, but I press for a decision. This abstract art, I say, is unlike anything in American

abstract expressionism. His colours have Arab heat to them. “Undoubtedly,” he agrees.

“I grew up in the Arab world so I am happy to be identified with it. My loyalties and my

sympathies are there. But I aspire to think with the world. My passion is universal

and is not bound by any single culture or religion. I engulf all religions with respect

and appreciation and I create to be appreciated by all. There are no limits or borders

to my art.”

AN ENGLISH PROVERB asserts that “the world wants to know you for only one thing”.

This is a simple wisdom that most artists (though not Picasso, Matisse or Kandinsky)

have followed. Work in one style, be known for it, stay with it, don’t confuse the public

by being too various.

This wisdom Fayez Barakat has steadfastly ignored. Not only does he mix in his

day-to-day life of antiquities and contemporary art. His paintings differ hugely. They are

not one thing. They are unified by being abstract, but that’s not all.

Page 19: Fayez Barakat

Far from being known for one single highly recognisable style, Fayez works in an immense

variety – in a dozen or more. In this I believe him to be unique among abstract artists.

He does not stay loyal to a single style for a year or a decade and then, tiring of it, move

on. He keeps them all. At least a dozen types of imagery are in his repertoire in 2010.

He can work in all of them in a single week or month of painting.

Does this matter? Not at all. His art is something that Fayez Barakat makes for himself,

not for the public. His ‘secret’ paintings are his life, his self-expression, his passion, his

frenzy. They follow his rules and no one else’s. They are a private art. It is, now, for the

first time, shared with the world.

Fayez Barakat is “going public” and working harder than ever. The pace and the drive

of his art, as of his life, are increasing. In this catalogue, you are staring at the best of

his work executed in 2010 alone. There was much before it and much to come.

He remembers a talk with Picasso, forty years ago, about Africa. Fayez complained that

its art was ‘primitive’. Picasso replied that this was a great advantage; its art had

escaped from rules, schools, academies and teaching standards and was rich in

individual feeling and message.

“Sometimes artists are born naturally, born to produce great statements,” he said sternly.

Picasso’s words seem an excellent definition of Fayez Barakat and of an art which exudes

a rare intensity and power.

18 July 2010

Barker is an art critic and art market specialist whose work has appeared in many national

newspapers and art journals, including The Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian in

London, Die Welt in Berlin and The Wall Street Journal in New York. He broadcasts on the

arts for BBC TV and radio and for the BBC World Service.

Very few artists have the ability to grasp the internal and manifest it externally.

Fayez Barakat is one of those rare souls who has courageously looked into

his own aesthetic ontological depths and returned to share those myriad gifts

with the rest of us. He is a true polymath, having been involved in the arts all

his life, establishing an early career in antiquities, then contemporary arts and

historical masters. His encyclopedic knowledge on the arts, philosophy and

other subjects is truly remarkable. All of which have contributed to shape the

person he is today.

Fayez Barakat’s recent paintings share the dynamism of essence, immediacy,

expression, deliberation and delivery while at the same time fuse existence with

a timeless ouevre.

He directly confronts the viewer to engage his or her own visual journey.

His chromaticity exchanges mixed with various techniques are tempered with

interactive compositions that literally resonate into the viewer’s minds, very

similar to the great classical composers who created auditory polysymphonies.

The art of Fayez Barakat does just that: creates polysyndetic visuals that are

his creative testaments for the world.
