    RECENT WORKS | 2008 - 2010 

    Mohammad El Rawas is well known for his complex mixed media and assemblages. In his work, “Each surface is carefully mapped out, divided into sections and ‘framed’ which suggests containment whether in form of dominant cultural hierarchies or proscribed spaces. The juxtaposition of different materials, their associated meanings, and the images work to subvert these constrictions in various ways and introduce contradiction.” -  Fran Lloyd, 2003
     
    “Juxtaposing words and images, and visual iconography from high art and popular cultural sources, the work of Mohammad El Rawas expresses a fundamental ambivalence demonstrating both a depth to, and an iconic distance from, modernist traditions. El Rawas’ complex multi-media works speak to the contemporary experience of fragmentation that is at once understood, and one suspects, distinctly Middle Eastern” - Helena Reckitt
