About the Item
This is an original abstract oil on canvas painting by San Diego artist, Khalid Alkaaby. It's dimensions are 48"x48"x1.5". It is unframed. A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery.
Represented through his characteristic abstract works featuring textural brushwork, muted tones, and dreamlike compositions of pure color, Alkaaby explores the spectrum of emotion, from negative feelings of isolation to positive ones of joy and hope. Creating his abstractions through an unconscious, almost automatic sense reminiscent of the Surrealists of the 1910’s and 20’s, Alkaaby gives form to these sensitivities, with a result many people resonate deeply with when viewing for the first time.
The uninhibited release of creation through paint allows Alkaaby to communicate the freedom of expression that he had been seeking. The boldness of the colors connect with his passion for life and love, which in turn creates a rhythmic tone throughout the work. Viewers can follow the movement of one state of mind to the next with this collection, culminating with epiphany over this emotional journey, and the strength and optimism it provides in looking towards the future.
Khalid Alkaaby was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq, where he worked as an artist and ran a successful art studio for some time. In 2005, Baghdad underwent immense terrorist bombings and Alkaaby was forced to leave his family, friends and studio gallery. He immigrated to the United States and began a new life in San Diego, California where he now lives and works as a professional artist. Since moving to the United States, Alkaaby has experienced an immense sense of openness in expression and creativity, unlike in Iraq where he experienced the opposite, “an unbalanced force”, he notes. The uninhibited release of creation through paint allows Alkaaby to communicate the freedom of expression that he had been searching for within his own practice. The boldness of the colors connect with his passion for life and love, which in turn creates a rhythmic tone throughout the work. “Creating art is a method of meditating and disconnecting, with art I learn more about myself, I learn about the power of art and the language of art that communicates to all.” – Alkaaby
