heightening the atmosphere of brutality, oppression, suffering, and violence. “In this painting” an art critic writes, “Kanso explores the multiplicity of power and makes aware of its mobile relations by creating a center with no central figure. Four figures replace the notion of a center of power with the multiplicity of mobile relations. In essence “power is exercised from innumerable points, in the interplay of non-egalitarian and mobile relations.”. The figures around the center appear as “hegemonic symbols” of the mobile relations, where there is power there is resistance” a term developed as a result of
American Orientalism. There are four horsemen evenly distributed in front four towers with masklike faces. Some critics contend that these riders represent their accumulated power and wealth i.e. corporations and corporate heads. A spectral figure riding a horse confronts a crucified bearded figure who is being speared at the chest. He seems to be pulling forcefully in a look of rage. This figure alludes to the crucified Christ and symbolizes the vanishing of consensus at the center of power. The heads rising from the forefront symbolize the inconstancies, discontinuities, and elusiveness of power without consensus, which these heads shelter and facilitate through silence and secrecy.
372:, 12 X 22 feet ( 3.65 X 6.75 meters), oil on canvas, 1984 The composition divides the scene in three triangular parts dominated by a large central section extending its edges to the upper corners of the canvas. At the center top, two winding ladders entwine in V-shape form alongside two large birds of prey swooping over a scene intensified by divisions, shapes, and symmetry of spatial areas animated by struggling figures in various acts and encounters. According to critical analysis, this painting presents the human body as the most telling vehicle to a new sense of soul, and its transformation from the metaphysical to the communicative level. Kanso focuses on the process of transforming sexual desire into discourse and brings into focus the place of sex within techniques of communication and absence of communication as made explicit in psychoanalysis. The only clothed woman in the paintings is placed in the upper right of the center. She alludes to the
339:, 12 X 10 feet, 3,65 X 3 meters, oil on canvas, 1985 The entire canvas is dripping with blood symbolic of power that spoke through blood: the honor of war, the fear of famine, the triumph of death, the sovereign with his sword, a reality with a symbolic function.” Blood drips over a constructed prison where six terrified weeping children lean at the lower stones of the wall stretching out their hands with pleading gesture. Across the upper part are six bleeding doves trying to fly above the walls that enclose them. A brightly lit wire-barbed doorway with black birds trying to fly in and out fills the center. A ladder twists up the left side of the painting camouflaging the sixth child and connecting it to the sixth bird. Some critics contends that the composition portrays humanity surrounded by towers of powers (walls) and its soul is arrested in flight, despair emanates from the doorway, and everything seems submerged in sanguinity (the law).”
347:, 12 X 18 feet (3.65 X 5.50 meters), oil on canvas, 1984 A gigantic bird with menacing look swoops down over a turbulent scene expanding with several divisions of varying complexities, tensions, and counter tensions. Figures with outstretched arms in gestures of outrage and rescue emerge from the two upper sides of the painting and dive diagonally toward a scene of abduction, rape, torture, or death. An aggressive and threatening looking tiger roars at two fighting figures with long spear. It is noted that the composition deals with the impotence of the repressive system in relation to the individual symbolized by a figure delineated by man’s turning back on himself: in evidence is an act of cannibalism taking place in the upper right corner of the painting. The relations of death and the mobile forces of power are manifest in forms of reduction and repression symbolized in executions and punishments.

in which the show is no longer a total of several pieces, but only one painting. Some critics point to a sense of entrapment in which standing in the central space surrounded by Kanso’s 12-foot-high paintings is as close as you get to being in the middle of a fire. "The painted holocaust surrounding us," a reviewer wrote "entrapped us in cage of feeling". "In encountering these paintings", a critic remarked, "it would be impossible to escape. The scenes draw the viewer in witnessing the violent events." “We find ourselves immersed in this violent totality, terrible and incisive, we are trapped." The horrors appear to burst out of the canvases bringing the viewer face to face with scenes reflecting a continuum of war and violence occurring in our time and space.
331:, 12 X 18 feet, (3.65 X 5.50 meters), oil on canvas, 1985 A dominant figure mounted on a horse in the upper center of the painting seems to oversee the event symbolize authority and power. He rides near a figure standing in front of an open door of flaming hearth. He gestures with outflanked embraced arms and looks toward three headless figures walking towards him. A figure clutching a book seems to watch their pace while awaits their arrival. In critical opinion the headless figures are symbols of the conjunction of legalism and death. The figure in the doorway and the one with a book symbolize the intermediaries who carries out the law by obeying and upholding power.

circumscribe, create a bar, an absolute demarcation, to be “at one” with the confluence and to refuse to overcome it- or to obsess to the point of no return, to create a canvas the size and shape of the original, a one-to-one mapping of the real upon itself, which uses the body of the artist “in a transitive sense” across it. And that is what is occurring in these paintings.” A reviewer thought of the expressions as “a tapestry of souls, struggling, reaching for one another… painted jazz rhythms of naked spirits climbing an interminable Jacob’s ladder in a metaphorical conflagration which repulses and sucks us all in.

inflamed and obfuscated the blue sky with dark forms erupting from earth burning fires. The violent scenes disturbs the chromatic gamut of chiaroscuro, light and shadow through which the victims emerge from the canvases with a common sigh of an open injury sustained by social reality. The pictorial layout extends to the edges of the canvases as light or dark with no space. Light emanates from the figures and use the, so light, therefore, is ultimately a force Light, space, sky closely relate to forms of redemption through irony, acceptance of mortality, the story of people, light against darkness.
393:.” It is remarked by some critics that “man has arrived at a position in the world where he has the power to annihilate himself through his technology and if he fails at this he is faced with annihilation through disease.” In this painting Kanso presented us with a mass of bodies across the bottom looking up –these are not the bodies which reflect murderous splendor of the sovereign, but rather a species considering its fate. How the artist presents the human body is the most telling vehicle to a new sense of soul, and its transformation from the metaphysical to the communicative level.
389:, 12 X 10 feet (3.65 X 3 meters), oil on canvas, 1985 The composition shows a ladder moving from the center of the light toward the frontal plane and recedes up through a doorway where the lower half of a body is seen disappearing out. The figure appears upside down diving diagonally from the upper left corner toward the center of the picture but does not enter the lighted center. It is suggested by some writers that this figure has reached a new terminal point, one that, considers death not in terms of the individual body and soul, but in terms of a species, which is the

On the grand piano, a man lying on his back with his arms stretched around a woman on top of him. She leans backward in an ecstatic trance toward a male figure dancing frantically.

provide a framework that lend crucial meaning to the paintings. Doorways, empty centers, and ladders exist in all these paintings. In critical opinion, they carry with them a message of a change or a shift in the modes of power from a system, which controls through repression and reduction, connected to the law of the sovereign, to a positive system which aims to promote and execute life and whose connection is to the social body.

From this circle he derives his extraordinary power of expression."

Prominently positioned in the foreground is the backside of male figure with wing-shape raised arms and almost invisible bent down head is seen thrusting toward forked legs at the center surrounded by female figures.
