A major retrospective of Leicester based artist Satta Hashem. The exhibition includes early political illustrations for Arabic newspapers, murals, rare archive material and paintings and drawings from the past 25 years.
Hashem's work reflects his Iraqi heritage, using deep saturated colours to explore how art can make sense of life, death and war and the role of the artist in conflict.
Weaving a tapestry of current realities, mythology, tragedy, and imagination with intense consideration of colour. The resulting portraits and compositions evoke the earliest depictions of the human face found in ancient Sumerian masks and temple plaques.
