Tarik Kiswanson (-1986) is a visual artist and poet from Halmstad, Sweden.Kiswanson received his MFA from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris and BFA from Central Saint Martins-University of the Arts London.The artist comes from a Palestinian family that was exiled from Jerusalem to North Africa and then Jordan before subsequently settling in Sweden in the early 1980s.Kiswanson transforms sculpture into a highly experiential artform.He employs simple-seeming objects to conjure the sense of rootlessness that pervades our age.Accordingly, what stands out from the empty wardrobes, cribs, cocoons, and chairs that recur in his installations is their overall impression of weightlessness.Kiswanson borrows from Minimalism, and, in his rejection of simplified geometry and form, ushers in a new type of abstract sculpture.
