Personal Info
- Country of residence: Palestine
Information
Palestinian artist born in Syria, lives and works in Gaza, Bassel Aklouk works in a surrealist mode, more particularly historic surrealism. Often in his work assembled objects are painted as illusions in a dessert landscape. Symbolic images gain extraordinary meaning by changing their scale in relationship to other parts of the picture. For example, a mountain range gains the outline and shape of lips but keeps the texture and location of mountainous terrain.
