Artist Muhammad Ali presents Beneath the Stone – a captivating mural that explores the hidden mechanisms of reality. Inspired by walks in Grötvik quarry and the surrealist´s play between fantasy and reality, the artwork invites us to explore the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of the ordinary.
In the mural painting Beneath the Stone, reality is not what it seems at first glance. The mural captures the hidden and forgotten stories beneath the surface, revealing a world where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. Halland’s quarries serve as metaphors for the hidden depths within us and the unexplored truths waiting to be discovered. Lifeless and static stones become vessels of hidden truths, hiding a crowded dream world within. Here, reality intertwines with fiction, blurring the lines between what is seen and what is made up from imagination and dreams in ways that contribute to our understanding of the world around us.
