Basil Alkazzi (Arabic: باسل القزي; born 1938), is Kuwait-born British visual artist, of Saudi Arabian–Kuwaiti heritage.
[1] Basil Alkazzi was born in 1938, on a ship in the sea traveling from Kuwait to Britain.
[6] “pure forms, geomorphic and biomorphic, became emblematic of spirit in action [of Alkazzi's work]— pure spirit in Kandinsky’s sense of being possessed by ‘inner necessity’…” He had a solo exhibition in 1989 at the Springfield Art Center in Springfield, Illinois.
[2] His solo exhibition, "An Odyessy of Dreams" (2014) was curated by Judith K. Brodsky and displayed at the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, Nebraska.
[3] Through the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), Alkazzi established in 2010 two biennial awards.
