Khalil Rabah
Khalil Rabah, Testimonies, 2025, oil pastel on paper, 40 × 60 cm
From his home in Ramallah, Palestine, Khalil Rabah found a means of confronting daily life through the repeated act of drawing olive tree trunks. Symbolic of Palestine, these trees are regularly cut down and uprooted. In Rabah’s work the fragments, painted on paper with bright colors, almost become severed body parts.
