"A critic once told me that my work has a European influence. I object! It is a universal influence, what I experience everyone in the world experiences, and in fact, all of the rules I apply to my sculpture are derived from Islamic Geometric design"
- Saloua Choucair
Saloua Raouda Choucair's long and wide-ranging career saw the Beirut-born artist engage with a vast array of materials, forms and ideas. Guided by her twin influences of Sufi philosophy and mid-century Modernism, Choucair fused geometry, rhythm and metaphysical reflection into works of striking precision and lyricism.
Repetitive Dual Sculpture is a superb example of this synthesis. Composed of two interlocking aluminium elements, it can be joined seamlessly or displayed apart. The forms appear to fit together with natural inevitability: evoking a rock formation, a valley, or a fragment of landscape, while remaining wholly abstract.
As in her sculptured poems, where words and sentences link in measured rhythm, these two parts correspond like stanzas in a visual poem. Their union suggests harmony and completeness; their separation, potential and dialogue.
Across a career spanning more than five decades and disciplines from painting to architecture and jewellery, Choucair's work pursued unity between art and science, matter and spirit, language and nature. Repetitive Dual Sculpture distils that search into pure form: a meditation on connection, correspondence and the infinite balance between things.
