Peace, mud on wood, 2007 |
"During the first Intifada, Palestinians boycotted Israeli goods as a form of resistance. Artists in their turn boycotted Israeli art supplies. Four Palestinian artists Vera Tamari, Nabil Anani, Tayseer Barakat and myself [Artist Sliman Mansour] formed the “new vision” group"
"Artists turned towards their environment and used materials such as wood, leather, mud, henna, natural dies. This new approach helped to develop Palestinian art and formed a link between Palestinian art produced for several decades after Alnakbah and the contemporary art." Palestinian Artist Sliman Mansour
