Distinct texture and colour composition stand out in the paintings by Iraqi artist Falah Al Saeedi being showcased at a virtual exhibition dubbed “Prism” launched by the Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) on its website.
Al Saeedi’s stunning colour layering and use of geometric patterns result to highly complex timeless works akin to classic paintings by masters. With varying subjects-from Arabian stallions to warriors mounted on horseback-the paintings are a visual feast which exudes Al Saeedi’s unique style and the technical expertise the artist has mastered through over three decades of prolific art practice.
