Chessboard
About the Item
They say that all artists are not chess players but all chess players are artists.
This is an object that is very close to my heart: the beauty of chess is it can be whatever you want it to be.
It transcends language, age, race, religion, politics, gender, and socioeconomic background. Whatever your circumstances, anyone can enjoy a good fight over the chess board.
A chess set stripped bare, refined and redefined in material-focused minimalism.
It is a game in art, but more, a piece crafted in stone and metal that becomes an altar to concentration, I feel on the chessboard, there is so much happening, but you want to focus on something important, the game, the moment.
The physical and cognitive investment in the strategy.

Tarek Elkassouf
Tarek Elkassouf is a Lebanese-Australian artist based in the UAE. In his Artist Statement, he explores the concept of balance after transformation. He explains how he understands the concept of the invisible, through what is not there; the empty, and its exchange with the full. His work was commissioned and acquired by International Museums such as the Institute of the Arab World in France, Ithra and the Royal Commission for AlUla [RCU] in Saudi Arabia. He’s interested in the space between the words and in the silence in the music which is as important as the notes themselves for him. Tarek Elkassouf is consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the realm of sculpture. His latest Exhibition ‘The Future is Near’ developed a unique visual language that translates complex concepts into tangible, and intangible forms. ‘Transformative Energy’ was considered one of the largest public artworks for a Lebanese Artist in the UAE an experience of the transformative power of art.
