Dia Al-Azzawi - 'The World is a Small Village' | Artist Interview | TateShots
Фильм және анимация
Dia Al-Azzawi is one of Iraq's most influential living artists. Having moved to the UK in 1976, Al-Azzawi found that by viewing Iraq from afar, he could understand more about Iraqi and Arabic culture than if he had remained.
Al-Azzawi's vast drawing Sabra and Shatila Massacre 1982--3 is an example of work that arose from this process of observation.
Made in response to the 1982 massacre of Palestinian refugees in Beirut by Christian Lebanese Phalangists, the killings took place over several days in refugee camps kept under guard by the Israeli Defence Force. Al-Azzawi explains how working from imagination, he delineated the scenes of chaos and horror in a semi-abstract style to create a work that is not a propaganda piece, but which documents a tragedy.

Amazing works.
Powerful!
"human creativity it can belong to any body " True .
I love your work
The Dia Al-Azzawi Guernica like painting is a great example of the concept of Picassofication. Picassofication is a term used often in the Superblur Art Movement.
I just discovered Dias works , I am amazed
Proud he is from my country

Why does an artist have to starve in a garret? Isn't this also a romantic myth helpful to artists, from opera buffs and creators to children who learn by looking, hearing and reading through the ages? A musician today can surely be canny enough to make a living from his occupation, while retaining a loyal following in both the north and south? As for collaborations with Mr Saachi and the Tate franchises, they do sorely need some Asian influences, especially in the heart of a cosmopolitan metropolis like London. We could be great again, with a little help from our friends.
ليش تحجي انكليزي يا فنان ❤️
Wow..he looks like Einstein 😂😂
Think of great works of art , Mona Lisa ,sunflowers ,the scream , they have a simple strength ,amateurs always over complicate things ,the black and white painting is over worked ,the colour piece ,the colours and shapes don’t work together .
Good, but not as good as Chi Chi Goldstein
