Information
Born in 1965 in Hebron, Khaled Hourani is a Palestinian conceptual artist, curator and writer. His artistic contribution has been instrumental in the progress of Palestinian contemporary art.
Hourani obtained a BA in History from Hebron University in Palestine. He was the Artistic Director of the International Academy of Art in Palestine (2007 – 2010), and the General Director from 2010 to 2013. He also worked as General Director of the Fine Arts Department in the Palestinian Ministry of Culture from 2004 to 2006.
In his conceptual representations, spanning along with painting, photography, sculpture, and installation art, Hourani responds to the idiosyncrasies that infiltrate daily life in Occupied Palestine. Hourani revisited themes recurrent in Palestinian modern art. In a cynical yet contemporary approach, he revived the long-lived traditions of embroidery, in paintings and prints that include symbolic patterns. Today Khaled Hourani lives and works in Ramallah, Palestine.
