Sadik Alfraji

이라크의 아티스트 Sadik Alfraji. 작가 자신의 실존의 문제를 해결하는 작업이라고. '나는 자유를 느끼지 못한다'는 타이틀과 커다란 그의 그림이 보면 볼수록 마음을 꿀럭거리게 함.

Ayyam Gallery's solo exhibition, 'I Do Not Feel That I Am Free', by Iraqi artist Sadik Alfraji opens 14 March until 27 April. The second exhibition at the newly inaugurated Ayyam Gallery London, this show marks the first time Alfraji has exhibited in the UK and will feature new works including paintings, drawings and the video installation 'Godot to Come Yesterday' (2013). Alfraji describes his work as "dealing with the problem of existence". He confronts the viewer with solitary figures depicted in profile and set against stark backgrounds. These simple forms possess a quiet sadness and sense of isolation; through them, he is able to undergo a cathartic process and address his own displacement from his native Iraq.
