{"product_id":"nabil-mikajil-kirollos-senza-titolo","title":"Nabil Mikajil Kirollos - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to depict an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color. In the pictorial production of Nabil Mikajil Kirollos, abstract and figurative elements merge into a single, surreal dimension without any sort of continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work demonstrates Nabil Mikajil Kirollos's extraordinary creative quality and distinctive style, even in an extremely concise composition. The formal means used to delineate the subjects are minimal: a simple black line or dense fields of color. The artistic conception of this series of works is fundamental to the synthesis of the subjects in order to extract their true essence—that is, what, beyond the phenomenal data, we know or want to know about what we see. This is why Nabil Mikajil Kirollos is so passionate about reclaiming the spontaneity of primitive art or children's drawing. These are two instinctive approaches that, in representation, go straight to the true essence of things and also hark back to post-Cubist Picasso. It is clear that a strong primitive aesthetic takes shape in this series of works. However, Nabil Mikajil Kirollos's gesture is free and loose, contemporary, and with just a few strokes he manages to imbue his figures and the space in which they move with a strong personality. The color is based on a polychromy of strong shades, in line with the tradition of the Fauvist-Expressionist avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eNabil Mikajil Kirollos was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1946.
