Artist Nabil Kanso

launched his career when he established his New York studio in 1968 as a pioneer of the neo-expressionist movement. Kanso was a leading exponent of figurative expressionism and a force of radical innovation in twentieth and twenty-first century art.

Unshakable in his dedication to pacifism, human rights, and free expression, Nabil Kanso's work directly engages the viewer to experience harrowing visions of a vast range of historic, mythical, social, political, and literary subjects.
