Mohammad Abu Sall

Mohammad Abu Sall lives and teaches art to children in Breij refugee camp, Gaza. These small paintings depict the arrival of a tank in his neighborhood. His compositions are intimate, and his use of sequences of related imagery is cinematic. Though he is expressive with his brushwork, Abu Sall is a naturalist. The majority of his paintings feature landscapes. These are no exception. Tank divisions and assault helicopters regularly make incursions into his neighborhood, destroying homes, property, agriculture, and human life.
