"Beyond the War: Seven Expatriate Iraqi Artists" Exhibition
Leila Heller Gallery
This event has ended.
A rare exhibition focusing on the work of prominent and emerging Iraqi artists will be on view at Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller (LTMH) Gallery. The artists were selected for their similar, yet unique, abstract and socio-political content, expressed with text and texture that resonate with the curator’s own artistic expression. Rather than dwelling on the theme of separation caused by the war in Iraq, BEYOND THE WAR addresses the unity that can come from artistic vision. The language of art communicates in a way that defies any verbal, ethnic, religious, gender, or age barrier. Having left the Academy of Fine Arts in Baghdad, their arts community, and their homes in Iraq, each of these distinguished artists has relocated studio and home to various parts of the world.
