Tala Madani employs the art of painting to evoke religious, cultural, and sexual identity related topics in a provocative manner with a sense of humor. Her images show Middle Eastern men who are depicted in all male stereotypical glory. Tala might turn a prayer gathering into a homosexual orgy, or invite you to bizarre birthday parties targeted for terrorist attacks, with the birthday cake as an emblem of the masculine ego. Her loose expressive brushwork combines rich narrative and defined irony in a comic mise en scène.
