The Identity...
Between the Warmth
of Color and the Dream of Generations.
Mohammed Abu
Sill
8/2001
The artist:
Abu-Sill was born in Breij refugee Camp, Gaza in 1976. In 1999 he obtained
his degree in accounting from the Islamic University in Gaza. His first
solo exhibit was at the YMCA in Gaza in 2000. Abu-Sill has also
participated in group exhibits in Gaza, Jerusalem, and once at the
Sakakini in 1999. In 1999-2000 Abu Sill was nominated by the Sakakini for
two consecutive years to participate in the Summer Academy for Young Arab
Artists at Amman's Darat al Funun, under the direction of Syrian artist
Marwan Qassab Bashi. Muhammad works as a website designer and participates
as an art instructor in many local summer camps. He gives art lessons for
children in numerous organizations.
The exhibit:
Abu-Sill's works represent a window that oversees a different time and
place, the hero is unlimited, his enemies shaping his life, depicting him
unwanted, a persona non grata; expelled, a foreigner, a prisoner.
