Featured Artist of the exhibit
eL Seed is a contemporary artist whose practice crosses the disciplines of painting and sculpture. He uses the wisdom of writers, poets, and philosophers from around the world to convey messages of peace and to underline the commonalities of human existence.
eL Seed uses his art as an echo of the stories of the communities he meets around the world — amplifying their voices and building a link between peoples across cultures and continents. Whenever he works within a community, he spends a long time learning from and being inspired by them, researching to find the installation that best summarises the community's voice and underlines his core principles of love, respect, and tolerance.
His work has been shown in exhibitions and public spaces all over the world — most notably on the facade of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, on the DMZ between North and South Korea, in the slums of Cape Town, and in the heart of Cairo's garbage collectors' neighbourhood.
