TADAFOUK
by Imad Mansour
2012-2013
Born in Baghdad, he studied plastic arts and cinema at the Beaux Arts in Baghdad, Scenography at the Jacques Lecoq International School in Paris. Impregnated by Mesopotamian art, Imad Mansour reinvents through paintings, sculptures, installations and videos, a language carrying a heritage whose echo vibrates in the present.
His work oscillates between an aesthetic from elsewhere and a critical commitment with whistleblowing accents. He directs his creations towards the dynamic search for space, rhythm. All his works are in movement, characters or matter. Diverse in its form, multiple in its expression, varied in its materiality, his work explores the mechanisms of vision and the place of the spectator. It sows confusion over the opposition between inside and outside, between reality and reproduction, between communication and silence. His creations shake up the public in his vision of the other, in his vision as a spectator.
Imad Mansour’s work is part of the conceptual art movement, his sculptures, installations and videos are crossed views between a past always present in and through matter and a timeless future. United in its genesis, plural in its forms, the work of Imad Mansour merges in a perpetual movement in search of its origins, those of the world and those of oneself.
