After the first Gulf War in 1991, countless oil fields in Kuwait were set ablaze during the retreat of invading forces as a final act of defiance. Those months following the war were nothing short of the classic image of a biblical apocalypse: the earth belching fire and the black scorched sky felt like a portrait of hell as it should be, an almost romanticized vision of the end of the world. Having experienced this dystopian reality first hand, the artist felt the need to examine it as a landscape from memory that reasserts its relevance today.
Behind the Sun has generally received very positive reviews.
