Farah Khelil — À propos — Slash Paris

Khelil, trained at the Tunis School of Fine Arts in the mid-2000s, first encountered the art history through books and other tools of mediation and learning. A few years later, she experienced it tangibly in Parisian museums. Since then, Khelil has continually questioned and redefined her relationship to images and Western art, developing her own language through the dispersion and layering of materials and documents, as well as the obliteration of existing figurative paintings, retaining only minute details to open up pictorial space.

Farah Khelil is nominated for the Drawing Now prize 2025.
