Né à Beyrouth en 1964, et formé à l'architecture à l'Université de Damas, Khaled Takreti a influencé toute une génération de peintres arabes contemporains. Il commence à exposer son travail au milieu des années 1990 et est rapidement reconnu pour son approche innovante du portrait. En décryptant l'image sociale moderne, mêlée à des souvenirs de vie personnelle, il introduit un style de peinture sans précédent en Syrie.

Basé à Paris depuis 2006, Takreti a été exposé internationalement et a été présenté dans les plus importantes biennales et foires du monde, comme la Biennale d'Alexandrie et Art Hong Kong. Ses œuvres sont conservées au Musée national syrien, à la Galerie nationale jordanienne des Beaux-Arts et au Mathaf : Musée arabe d'art moderne, entre autres collections privées et publiques.


Born in Beirut in 1964, Khaled Takreti is a leading Syrian artist whose Pop aesthetic has influenced a subsequent generation of contemporary Arab painters. Originally trained as an architect at the University of Damascus, he began exhibiting his work in the mid 1990s. Recognised for his innovative approach to portraiture, which merges a personal narrative in the form of a visual diary with explorations of the modern social image, he introduced a painting style that was without precedent in Syria.

Based in Paris since 2006, Takreti has exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions and has been featured in biennials and art fairs such as the Alexandria Biennale and Art Hong Kong. His works are housed in the Syrian National Museum, the Jordanian National Gallery of Fine Arts, and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, among other private and public collections.
