Imad Mansour generously created and offered one sculpture as a cover for the novel “Scratches never heal” and two paintings, one for the novel “Sparkling Ashes over the Rainbow” and one for the novel “Suicide à distance” .

I am grateful to him for accepting that I share some of his paintings and sculptures on this page of Visual Arts.

Who is Imad Mansour?

Imad is a well-known painter and sculptor. Born in Iraq, he studied visual arts and cinema at the Beaux Arts in Baghdad, Scenography at the Jacques Lecoq International School in Paris. Imbued with Mesopotamian art, Imad Mansour reinvents through painting, sculptures, installations and videos, a language carrying a heritage whose echo vibrates in the present.

Imad Mansour’s work oscillates between an aesthetic from elsewhere and critical engagement with denunciatory overtones. He directs his creations towards the dynamic search for space and rhythm. All his works are in movement, characters or material. Diverse in its form, multiple in its expression, varied in its materiality, his work explores the mechanism of vision and the place of the spectator. It sows confusion regarding the opposition between inside and outside, between reality and reproduction, between communication and silence. His creations shakes up public in their vision of the other, in their vision as spectator.

Imad Mansour’s work is part of the conceptual art movement, his sculpture, installations and videos are cross-views between a past always present in and through matter and timeless future. United in its genesis, plural in its form, the work of Imad Mansour merges in a perpetual movement in search of its origins, those of the world and those of oneself.
