Hani Zu’rob

Zu'rob is a Palestinian artist born in Rafah. He currently lives and works in Ramallah. Hani Zurob has been inspired by the artists of the 70s, particularly Anani, Barakat, and Hallaj.

Zurob's figures stand near each other in expressive abstracted form which dominate the surface. There is often a shift in the scale of the figures where some are gigantic in relation to a smaller set, and background shapes seem like a mosaic of bright colors and remind us of stained glass, inlaid mother-of-pearl and wood, and other Arabic arts.
