An interrogation of organic and mechanical worlds

Since the late 1960s, Chaouki Choukini has developed an astoundingly consistent aesthetic worldview. His sculptural works, mainly in wood but occasionally in marble or stone, range from horizontal Lieux and Paysages to upright, anthropomorphic, almost totemic figures.

Co-edited by Kaph books and Green Art Gallery (Dubai), this publication presents a comprehensive compilation of Choukini’s work, with an essay by Kevin Jones (independent arts writer) and poems by Salah Stétié (Lebanese writer).
