About his work

Mansour El Habre’s paintings and works on paper do not answer the question but address the condition. His works are characterized by the strong themes, the changeable human figures and the unusual geometric shapes highlighted by a unified bright colour. The human image in his paintings shrinks into a series of sharp lines and free-flowing figures. All of this leads to an exciting composition, in which people appear in a perpetual movement, escaping from the painting.
