 Karl Ghattas

(Kuwait, 1958Barcelona, 2007) British artist and poet.Educated in Britain, trained as a doctor and studied philosophy in London. During the last period of his life he also lived and worked in Barcelona.

​

His art is in public and private collections in the UK, Spain, Germany, Hong Kong and USA.

​

Ghattas' work is in part a response to Ludwick Wittgenstein and the extreme importance that he attached to the aesthetic dimension of life: how art can communicate and affect us in a way we cannot talk about and must pass over in silence.

​

Ghattas uses different media in his artistic expression, including oil, brush and Ink, prints, video or poetry. 

​

Some examples of his work are the series 'Images of God' (Stockport 1999), a stunning metaphysical investigation through artistic expression.

​

The video "Islam. The call to Prayer" (MACBA 2006) is part of a tryptic exploring the essence  of Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
