Given the talent of materialising the beauty of sceneries onto paper, Khalil beautifully captures the Lucerne Old Bridge in Switzerland including its nitty-gritties. Khalil Ibrahim is not concerned with any specific object in his vast landscape. And it is such a remarkable verismo would give his art new force, suggesting that the landscape has remained his Eden – always present for eyes seeking it.
