Nizar Sabour
Walls of Palmyra No.7

2018

About the Item

Nizar Sabour was born in Latakia and now lives and works in Damascus and Moscow. He received his PhD in art philosophy from Strugunov Academy in Moscow, the influence of Middle Eastern culture is reflected in his work and splits between two themes, the first has religious undertones, focusing on the artist’s fascination with historical imagery and icons whether Christian, Islamic or non-Abrahamic traditions and the second theme is very poetic. His images tend to appear archaic, utilizing traditional elements silkscreened with paint, sand, and ash on canvas, with a flattened perspective and spots of colored shapes. Inspired by ancient Middle Eastern culture, religious iconography, Romantic landscapes, and popular culture, Sabour explores taste and desire, synthesizing elegance and kitsch—his sources date from the archaic period, in history and archaeology, the earliest phases of a culture. He employs modern motifs reminiscent of the European Dada movement rather than the precision of historical iconography—but with added touches of the surreal, the fantastical, and the Arabic calligraphy. His recent work includes Icons, Maaloula and Palmyra have a correlation to the historical and religious places in Syria where the extremists entered towns and ransacked the culture. Certificate of authenticity will be sent out by email after the transaction is settled for acquiring the painting.
