paintings by Athir Shayota
Opening Reception:
Friday, October 21, 6-8 p.m.
“Responding to an Iraq he finds unrecognizable, this figurative artist turns to still lifes painted as snapshots of life in the absence of figures, resulting in partial views of brooding environments. Yet the blossoms and leaves of Shayota’s floral bouquets reach toward the edges of paintings, refusing to submit.”
From a text by journalist Maymanah Farhat
