Cathy Tabbakh is a French painter of Armenian descent working and living in the UK. She paints with a passion for the mesmerising power of colour. She has exhibited in various galleries in Europe, UK, USA, Australia and recently in Seoul, Korea. She holds degrees in Textile, Design and Fine Art (2011) and Art History and Archaeology (2017) both in Lyon. Tabbakh’s work can be found in private collections worldwide and since 2021 as part of the Soho House Collection displayed in 3 houses, with 2 paintings commissioned an displayed in Soho House Paris (2021), a commissioned floral ceramic sculpture displayed in Brighton Beach House (2022) and a diptych in High Road London in Chiswick (2023)
Cathy’s work collides imaginary and existing forms through the use of structural and botanical elements. Tabbakh’s monochromatic still-life scenes show her desire to be surrounded by green spaces combined with her love for interior design and architecture. The notion of stillness interacting with light and shadow is key to the artist's work. Still-life, colours, light and shadows fuse to create harmony and bring a sense of peace and calm. She has also introduced ceramics into her practise, reflecting the colourful and bold style of her still-lifes.
