From May 15 – June 19 Ayyam Gallery Damascus will proudly present the solo exhibition of Syrian artist Mouteea Murad, a rising painter who has been seizing the attention of regional art critics and collectors with complex interpretations of geometric abstraction. A standout young artist, his colorful, multilayered compositions have rapidly set him apart.
With an energetic palette he creates symphonies of color, taking cue from the endless possibilities and combinations that can be drawn from his mind’s eye. “I am totally inspired by color,” explains the artist. This aspect of the artist’s work is paramount, as he seeks to extract the beautiful and sacred, situating Murad within a movement of contemporary Arab art that has continued the magnificent legacy of Islamic art.
