About The Artwork

….a young couple and their little daughter walking in a not well-known metropolis. They are dressed with western clothes even if their appearance shows an origin from the Middle East. Behind them there is a scraped wall on which the rests, of a poster of the circus with the drawings with the tiger well marked, are overlapped, this is an image at once familiar for us because of the childish memory, but after that we think also to other connections, an historic work by Mimmo Rotella, the pyrotechnic posters of the Indian cinema from Bollywood, realized by extraordinary illustrators to tell wonderful tales of adventures. The world without borders, from the Italian pop to the description of the Far East, from spices and flavours from East to the stench (this is really global) of all cities in the world, there is a summary in a unique image, that is the abridgment of universes that cross each other in a unique frame painted by hand with survey and pleasure for painting… Luca Beatrice, “Il Popolo vuole…” Museo Piaggio – Italy

Ali Hassoun was born in Saida (Lebanon) in 1964. In 1982 he moved to Italy to continue his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. In 1992 he graduated from the city’s university with a degree in Architecture. He now lives and works in Milan. He has added Italian nationality to his Lebanese nationality, and has thus been able to fill in areas that were lacking in his own individual experience. The most easily identifiable theme of his painting is travel, contributing different experiences and visions. Ali Hassoun’s works seem to act as a pole of attraction for various cultures, which merge to create a new, richer culture. In opposition to the clash of civilzations, Hassoun wants to highlight the idea of “humanity”; a universal and spiritual feature that is common to all folks, and that always come first, before any political or religious division. The artist becomes a sort of cultural translator, and different traditions can coexist in the perfectly balanced space of his colourful paintings. Islamic and African characters are all caught in a game of smart quotations and indirect exchanges between the main action and the background.
