However there are flashes - Bassam Al-Sabah

£360.00

TITLE
However there are flashes

ARTIST
Bassam Al Sabah

ABOUT THE WORK
However there are flashes is a computer-generated portrait of a shimmering flower. Not intended as an authentic portrayal of a particular species, this image instead invites an encounter with a flower in all its artificial beauty, its face providing an unsettling, unblinking stare.

This work is printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, a finely-textured cotton paper that brings out the image’s high density and vivid deep colours.

*Please note this work does not come framed.

DATE
2021

DIMENSIONS
40cm (h) x 50cm (w)

MEDIUM
Archival print on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag

ORIGINAL WORK / EDITION
Edition of 5, authenticated by the artist

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Bassam Al-Sabah uses digital animation, painting, sculpture and textiles to convey intricate visions of war, resistance and perseverance, and to explore themes such as displacement, nostalgia and personal mythology. His work references Japanese anime cartoons, which were dubbed into Arabic and broadcast throughout the Middle East from the 1980s to the present day.
