B21 is pleased to invite you to the opening of ‘Wish You Were Here' by Palestinian artist Jeffar Khaldi, on Monday 12 May from 7:30 pm.

The work of Palestinian artist Jeffar Khaldi is both confronting and compassionate, presenting a striking blend of personal mythology, craftsmanship and intuition. His colossal paintings whisk the viewer into a fantasy world of dominating and disproportionate landscapes, blending dream and reality. Within this chaos, each element is in fact set carefully into a master plan of spatial composition and historical context, whether it be a glistening industrial machine, mutated man, insidious robot, or abandoned deer. ‘Wish You Were Here’ reflects sentiments of psychological isolation and rebelliousness, a fascinating play on the contradictions and absurdities of our world.
