From September 17 until October 30, Ayyam Gallery DIFC is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Palestinian artist, Oussama Diab. ‘In the Name of Freedom’ will feature a selection of his latest paintings. Oussama Diab’s exciting Pop and graffiti-inspired expressionistic canvases employ symbolist interpretations of current events and concerns. Candor, yet playful, this juxtaposition reflects a duality prominent in all of Diab’s work.
All featured on nondescript patterned backdrops, the subjects take center stage. Diab’s paintings incorporating balloon-headed figures and darts playfully depict fate, violence, and the ease some have in taking life.
