The painting of Sabhan, unique in its kind, reflects a strong individuality. Despite being influenced by the colors of his native country and by his surroundings, Sabhan considers his painting as universal. According to this ideal identity, he represents humanity by grotesque creatures, without the risk of falling into a caricaturist style . The characters of Adam are distorted and monstrous, however without being terrifying. They are hard to define, being surrounded by a halo of mystery.
FR La peinture de Sabhan Adam, simple dans son genre, reflète une forte personnalité. Influencé par la couleur de son sol d'origine et par ce qui l'entoure, Sabhan considère que lorsqu'il peint il le fait pour "le monde". A travers son identité mentale, il représente l'humanité avec ses créatures grotesques sans tomber dans la caricature. Mal développés, monstrueux, sans être terrifiants, les personnages de l'artiste sont difficiles a cerner, laissant autour d'eux un halos de mystère. |
