Abdel Raouf Shamoun
Jordan, b.1958
Abdel Raouf Shamoun got his B.A. in literature from the Jordan University in 1968 and followed art courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in Amman. A painter who delves into much research before embarking on a new work, his style vacillates between surrealism and expressionism and is laden with symbols that transmit a social message.
