About the work

A seated woman rendered in bold, gestural brushstrokes leans inward in quiet contemplation, her form fragmented across vivid passages of red, yellow, and earthy brown. The energetic expressionist style conveys both movement and stillness, with loose lines and layered colour creating a powerful emotional presence.

Abdulkadir Azzouz

Syria, b. 1947

Abdulkadir Azzouz (عبد القادر عزوز), born in 1947 in Syria, is a prominent Syrian painter recognized for his contributions to modern Arab art. Azzouz’s work is characterized by a lyrical abstraction that often draws upon the landscapes and cultural motifs of his homeland, blending vibrant color palettes with expressive, gestural brushwork. His paintings frequently explore themes of memory, heritage, and the interplay between tradition and modernity, positioning him as a significant figure within the Syrian and broader Middle Eastern art scenes.

Azzouz has exhibited extensively in Syria and internationally, with notable institutional exhibitions including shows at the National Museum in Damascus and participation in regional biennials. His works have also been featured in group exhibitions highlighting Syrian modernism and Arab contemporary art. On the secondary market, Azzouz’s paintings have appeared at major auction houses such as Christie’s and Bonhams, where they have attracted attention from collectors of Middle Eastern art, underscoring his status as a respected artist within the auction circuit.

Throughout his career, Abdulkadir Azzouz has remained committed to exploring the evolving identity of Syrian art, and his oeuvre continues to be celebrated for its poetic engagement with both local and universal themes.
