About the Item

About Minimalist Handcrafted Travertino Rosso Marble Chess Set by Tarek Elkassouf Design by Tarek Elkassouf Game Boards Materials: Travertino Rosso Marble board with Brass and Stainless Steel pieces Dimensions: W 30 H 30 cm / W 11,8 H 11,8 in Open Edition Made to order Handcrafted in Lebanon Artist's notes "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". The Artist Tarek Elkassouf is an artist based between Beirut and Sydney. Elkassouf's studio specialises in expressing contemporary art, crafted using precise, traditional craftmanship handed down over hundreds of years in the Middle East. His language explores the dialogue between the man and the machine. "My work is about the raw energy extracted from the heart of the Earth, crafted by the work of hands, cut and fashioned with passion, roughness removed, inequality polished away. It is an ode to beauty, an ode to the material. I see beauty in examining the details of the mundane. The qualities you would otherwise miss. The mundane is surprising. I want people to stop and observe and absorb, and celebrate it. Then continue on their day, with their life having been enriched, and with a changed perception of the world". Elkassouf's work has been featured at more than 20 international exhibitions, and has been commissioned by international museums such as the Institute of the Arab World in France, and Ithra in Saudi Arabia. He has collaborated with international brands like Cartier. Notes: This product is entirely handcrafted. Colour and textures may slightly differ depending on devices, and remain unique for each creation since the handcrafted features and natural materials of this object.
