ABSTRACTION OF SOLITUDE
MOHAMED KHALIL
11 APRIL - 20 JUNE 2021
Mohamed Saleh Khalil’s painting is usually brought into being complete, or almost complete, in the (first) instance. He only needs to revisit his paintings now and then in the following days until he has nothing more to add to it.
Abstraction of Solitude
He confronts his artwork with a boldness; he does not hesitate to repaint if it feels right, driven by a state of dissatisfaction and madness. It might happen that in the midst of contemplating what he has accomplished, he changes the colour of the sky in a painting that he made months ago, or he cuts another down the middle, keeping one half of it as it is and continuing to paint on the other. He does not settle on one style or topic, nor does he compromise his artistic freedom, not for any predominating taste, nor for any fear of being blamed for the ostensible alienation of many of his works from the context and environment of their production, and for his resistance in what he produces to what a Palestinian artist like him is expected to accomplish.
