Syrian-born Fassih Keiso currently lives in Australia. His work has been exhibited in Beirut, Tunisia, Damascus, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide and has traveled to Pakistan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. Keiso works with fragments of the human body, breaking it up, removing it from normal contexts and scale and reconstructing it. By creating an "arabesque" out of it, its power is symbolically increased. It can be full of sexual possibility, or the art can "absorb" the nudity and actually take away the excitement and desire.
