The romantic query: Yes these are highly charged images... I dont think art must always be 'nice to look at'... artwork that we may find hard to look at can be powerful because it shows us certain truths/reality about the world/us... Jeffar Khaldi doesn’t consider himself to be a political artist; the themes in his work are based on his own experiences + ideas... thus providing the most powerful material for making art. "I am a contemporary artist, I want to try and create something new and different. I don’t paint flowers.” -Jeffar Khaldi.
There is a light at the centre of each piece that i don't know if i like so i'll comeback and take a second look.
ReplyDeletetake care
