Baseem Rayyes
(مواليد 1970، سوريا)
يعمل الريس بين الرسم والوسائط المختلطة والرسم الخطّي، ويبني تكوينات متعددة الطبقات عبر فترات طويلة من الحفر والمراجعة. كل لوحة تُحسم مرة واحدة، وتبقى ثابتة على حالها الأخيرة.
وُلد بسيم الريس في سوريا عام 1970، وهو فنان تشكيلي وكاتب متفرّغ يقيم في دبي منذ 2005. عضو نقابة الفنون الجميلة بدمشق منذ 1997، وجمعية الإمارات للفنون التشكيلية منذ 2005.
في عام 2011 أطلق مبادرة «على كل جدار لوحة»، وأهدى خلالها مئات الأعمال الأصلية إلى أشخاص حول العالم، رسائلَ سلام.
Mr. Y
Mr. Y was born from that weight. He stands in for the ones who can't speak, or who chose to stay quiet. Sometimes he is the victim, sometimes the witness, sometimes the one responsible. I paint him when questions are louder than answers.
The Style
Rayyes' paintings live somewhere between realism and memory. Figures appear and disappear inside dense compositions: men in suits, women at windows, anonymous silhouettes seated around tables that could be anywhere and anytime. The scenes feel familiar, but not completely safe.
At the center of many works stands Mr. Y, a recurring figure who is everyone and no one. He is the witness, the negotiator, the man caught between power and conscience. Through him, Rayyes can talk about politics, loss, love, and compromise without turning the work into illustration. The palette shifts from muted grays to burning reds and deep blues, but the tension remains: intimacy on the surface, history underneath.
Practice
Rayyes works in layers. Of paint, but also of time. Some pieces come alive quickly. Others remain in process for years. He covers, erases, scratches, and repaints until the surface feels like a lived place, not a clean idea.
What you see in the end is not a single moment. It is fifty years of looking, doubting, correcting, and refusing to forget.
The Process
Each painting undergoes sustained revision.
Decisions accumulate.
When the work reaches coherence, it is concluded.
No further intervention occurs.
