Witness this captivating silkscreen art print, Bashar Alhroub’s Holy Gates No. 4.

In this series, Alhroub packages the city of Jerusalem as a religious symbol and reinvents it as a pop culture subject. He traces the boundaries between holiness and material culture and invites the visitor to observe a fine line between religion and commercial clutter.
Bashar Alhroub is a Ramallah-based Palestinian artist renowned for using a variety of materials and forms focusing on Sufi themes. His silkscreen works emphasize the holiness of the city of Jerusalem and its proximity to the heavens. The socio-political sentiments that affirm his identity and his desire to be a member of a social and cultural community have a profound impact on his work; anchored in a specific location, Alhroub yearns for a sense of attachment, a sense of substantial ownership of that location.
