Born in Ammann, Jordan 1957.
Mohamed Kaitouqa’s work comes from a distant world.
His rejection of brushwork or any other traditional way of applying paint on canvas frees the observer when looking at his work from any traces of scale.

His paintings can be read as images obtained by remote sensing of the mysterious surface of a distant planet, and, simultaneously, they appear as a close-up magnification of a rare rock sample.

What is most amusing is Kaitouqa’s treatment of light and gravity creating a united force that almost bombards the surface of the work in a vertical manner. His zero-angle-of –impact between the surface and the endless circumstances that invites pigment to land, creates the most stunning effect. Kaitouqa explores the limits of the visual experience taking the ability to see and understand contrast to the extremes.

There works drew art viwers in, as “black holes”. With all the falling light sucked downward by gravity, the occasional gold appears rising up like sparkles in a sacred reaction, in a strange liquid, in the hands of a skillful oriental magician.
