Ali Al Jabiri (Iraq, 1948 - Rome 2018) Untitled, 1990 Oil on canvas 70 x 50 cm
Ali Al Jabiri was born in Amara (Iraq) in 1948. He studied Fine Arts in Baghdad before moving to Italy in 1970 where he continued his formation in sculpture and decorative arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.
Along his career he exhibited his works in many shows both in Iraq and abroad and his fame increased thanks to his participation in the Iraqi pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 1976, 1988 and 1990. In the meantime, the artist also planned and created a series of large monuments that can still be seen today in Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The painting in the exhibition clearly shows the interest of the artist for the ancient history of Iraq and the neighbouring region. The women portrayed in the canvas have the roundness of the faces, the large almond eyes and the garments’ colourful details, typical of the Sumerian and Babylonian tradition. Provenance: Family of the artist.
