Arab art


Louay Kayali, Syria

Few pieces can be left alone to speak for themselves..This is one of them..One can write a book about what's going on...Powerful, expressive and economical in means..
BTW, crunch time for me..An upcoming group exhibition next month and a big one in November, and with so much time spent on the internet I have reasons to worry..

    I've looked up the artist. He died so young. Seems to have had a troubled life. Too sad. Exceptional works of art. I am going to write to see if there are any prints that can be purchased.

    Amazing, but too dark for me. I like upbeat art.

    Good luck on the exhibition.

    So many artists, like the nerves of a country,  seee and feel the immense suffering and for some it becomes too much.

    Reminds me of Kathe Kollwitz.

    Kollwitz is a stunning artist. He had a great impact on me in my formative years.. They way she used charcoal/pencil is a reference in its genre...
