| | | JEFFAR KHALDI: With you, Without Ever Seeing You
John Martin Gallery, London, UK United Kingdom In October the John Martin Gallery will be holding the first European exhibition of the Palestinian painter Jeffar Khaldi. The winner of the Grand Prize at the Sharjah Biennial in 1997, Khaldi is regarded as one of the most significant new painters working in the Middle East today. Combining pop imagery with political references, religious symbolism and text, the fantasy landscapes in which they are set become a constant reminder of an unattainable dream, a personal account of the longings, frustrations and anger of a displaced Arab diaspora. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
