I’ve been interested in the work of Morandi for quite some time. This interest deepened after seeing a beautiful solo exhibition in Brussels a few years back. His paintings are about painting and that gives them their special quality. So, when I recently wanted to paint a still life I decided it had to be a tribute to his work.

I chose Guernica by Picasso. And since I'm a huge admirer of Edward Said I add a quote from him that matches the works Guernica and Raqqa. His discourse on imperialism has brought me in flux during my student days.

Rabi Koria, 2016

'Just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle over geography. That struggle is complex and interesting because it is not only about soldiers and cannons but also about ideas, about forms, about images and imaginings.'
