On Tayseer, by Khaled Horani

"Overwhelmed by the ultimate symbol, Tayseer Barakat is an artist, whose works overflow with endless signs from visual art in its different forms to installation. With deep yearning and longing, Tayseer calls back the divinity of the ancient past to this land preserving the radiance of its history. From the cannanite premiers to the last of the children now being born in the Jabalia Refugee camp on the east cost of Mediterranean. Tayseer, who has look his first breath there, digs deep into memory of the place and its eternal weather, first within the geography of the home and then within that of the ocean to say:

Father, do you know what happened to me?
The sea can not lock me behind any door..
There is no mirror for me to break
To spread into visions on the road ahead..

And then he is taken by the self and occupied by the question and the answers of magic and amazement. As he has been since the floating of the very first boat charged with the mystery of the instant on the surface of the water on the coasts of Gaza. For the artist, the adventure is an anonymous catch of Phoenician sailors living the sea and embracing their mates in the low lands. This glorious image of distant past of what the works of Tayseer inspire taking modern answers from history and adding to it.
