Fadi Yazigi (Syrian, b. 1966)

Che Guevara (Che), the Argentine Marxist revolutionary, was politician, author, physician, military theorist, and guerrilla leader. After his death, his stylized image became a ubiquitous countercultural symbol worldwide.
Fadi Yazigi is a great admirer of Chs many aspects, but especially of how he had managed to preserve his sense of innocence and commitment to a dream. King Che represents the grown-up man, who yet preserves his childlike innocence. Yazigi, also a dreamer, presents Che as happy and looking up at the sun, an eternal smile cast in bronze.
