Hamid Mohammed Rafiq

Hamid Mohammed Rafiq, an artist from Kirkuk, Iraq, was a member of the "Expressive Art Group" (جماعة الفن المعبر), a collective of artists from various Iraqi cities. In 1973, the group held a successful exhibition in Baghdad, aiming to showcase their work across other cities like Kirkuk, Sulaymaniyah, Mosul, and Dohuk. However, escalating political tensions and internal conflicts in Iraq disrupted these plans. During this period, Rafiq was placed under surveillance for political reasons, reflecting the challenges faced by artists amid the country's unrest.
