“I find that lines I create have an inherit duty to continuously move and flow without interruptions; to form objects and figures, and direct the eye to visually realize the entirety of the work” - MA

Mohammed Abdel Rassoul is a Sudanese artist whose drawings of lines and threads form figures and objects enmeshed in poignant and quiet moments. These lines and ropes manipulate shadow and light, creating and contouring forms, their flexibility and fluidity direct the human eye, delivering a somber connectivity between line and object, object and viewer. This entanglement and ensnarement of object and lines delineates on often somber and melancholic themes presented in beautifully contemplative compositions.
