This exhibition presents works by Iraqi artist Sirwan Baran, a leading figure in contemporary art in Iraq and the Arab world, known for an expressive visual language shaped by lived experience and memory. Born in Baghdad in 1968, Baran draws on personal history and life’s transformations to create dense, emotionally resonant works. His compositions are layered and dynamic, charged with presence and endurance. Moving between expressive realism and symbolism, Baran reflects on memory, vulnerability, and the resilience of the human condition, offering a body of work that speaks quietly yet powerfully to shared experience and lasting emotional depth.
