A solo exhibition by Iraqi artist
Saadi Al Kaabi
In the mid-sixties, Saadi AI Kaabi (b. 1937) introduced the use of aesthetic moods of which abstract components overlapped forming signals of a desert reality. He achieved this by creating a new structure as a material giving the surface of the painting principal values in the process of building the painting, an approach that, at the time, had not been witnessed by the Iraqi art scene previously.
The artwork, form and symbols intertwine with earth colors, creating the balance among intellectual, rationalistic and physical values within a central core, which is the human being.
