Distortion No. 1 by Sliman Mansour
Featured in Zawyeh Gallery’s Posters for Gaza, Distortion No. 1 by Sliman Mansour captures the stark contrast of Gaza’s coastal environment amid conflict. Born in 1947 in Birzeit, Mansour studied fine art at Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem and is renowned for his evocative works centered on the Palestinian struggle. The poster merges imagery of upheaval with the calm presence of the sea in the background, highlighting Gaza’s complex reality as a place of natural beauty overshadowed by ongoing violence and hardship. This blend of elements invites reflection on the resilience of those living in this contested space.
