FINGERS & THINGS
Khaled’s work is inspired by ordinary objects, which act as a catalyst to create intense – and sometimes uncomfortable moods.
In his “Things” studies for example, seemingly mundane ‘subjects’ are portrayed as overpoweringly solitary, giving a sense of aimlessness and melancholy isolation.
In “Fingers”, the artist’s almost obsessive exploration of human digits takes him into the realms of outlandish surrealism which teases the spirit, but provides no punchlines.
Despite the compulsive forces that inform his work, Khaled’s technique – a bold contradiction of technique and naivety – imbues all his work with a unique charm and humor that leaves the viewer feeling positive and strangely liberated.
