About the work

Layered fragments of dark, textured forms are scattered across a pale ground, punctuated by sharp bursts of vivid yellow that cut through spirals, leaf-like shapes, and primitive geometric symbols. The composition feels energetic and archaeological, as though glimpsing ancient markings through a fractured surface.

Dodi Altabaa (Jordan, 1952–present).

Abstract Expressionism

A postwar movement built on spontaneous, gestural abstraction and broad fields of color, conveying feeling without recognizable subjects. Its freedom shaped many Arab modernists exploring abstraction in their own visual language.
