Easiest and fastest way to learn about a global artist such as Kanso is to examine one of his massive mural-style paintings such as 'Time Suspended in Space' which reflects on apartheid South Africa. By painting the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Gulf War, Kanso wanted to bring them into public consciousness, encourage peace and remembrance.
