South Beach Belly Boogie (2021)Acrylic painting
by Tony Khawam

The painting vividly captures Miami's dynamic nightlife, blends modern styles and subjects inspired by Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and the Pop Art of the 1960s. It also incorporates elements of the artist's Middle Eastern heritage with Oud players and belly dancers that reflect a lively Miami multicultural life scene.
The artwork emphasizes form and color through a loose, expressive style. It aims to establish a new vocabulary for contemporary social commentary by intentionally borrowing and sharing images that resonate with the artist’s artistic experiences. This approach seeks to challenge traditional notions of ownership in relation to American culture.
