A sculptor’s journey
Tarek Elkassouf is a Lebanese-Australian artist based in the UAE.
In his Artist Statement, he explores the concept of balance after transformation. He explains how he understands the concept of the invisible, through what is not there; the empty, and its exchange with the full.
His work was commissioned and acquired by International Museums such as the Institute of the Arab World in France, Ithra and the Royal Commission for AlUla [RCU] in Saudi Arabia.
He’s interested in the space between the words and in the silence in the music which is as important as the notes themselves for him.
Tarek Elkassouf is consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the realm of sculpture. His latest Exhibition ‘The Future is Near’ developed a unique visual language that translates complex concepts into tangible, and intangible forms.
‘Transformative Energy’ was considered one of the largest public artworks for a Lebanese Artist in the UAE an experience of the transformative power of art.
