About the artist

Ghassan Ghaib — Acrylic On Canvas, 60 × 80 cm (representative image)
Ghassan Ghaib

Iraq, b. 1964

Ghassan Ghaib, born in Baghdad in 1964, is an Iraqi-American artist renowned for his evocative works that delve into themes of displacement, loss, and memory. He earned his diploma from the Institute of Fine Arts in 1986 and a bachelor's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1997, both in Baghdad. Ghaib's artistic journey began with clay sculptures in his family's garden, eventually transitioning to painting and mixed media. His experiences during the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the 2003 U.S. invasion profoundly influenced his art, leading him to seek refuge in Amman, Jordan, before relocating to Los Angeles.

Ghaib's work has been showcased in numerous solo exhibitions, including "Butterfly Wing" at Orfali Gallery in Amman (2019) and "Banned from Paradise" at Karim Gallery in Amman (2010). His participation in group exhibitions is extensive, featuring in "Theater of Operations: The Gulf Wars 1991–2011" at MoMA PS1 in New York (2019) and "Word into Art: Artists of the Modern Middle East" at the British Museum in London (2006). His art is held in prestigious collections such as the British Museum, the Jordanian National Museum, and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar.

Throughout his career, Ghaib has received several accolades, including the 6th Al Wasiti Award in 1987, the 3rd Award at the Contemporary Iraqi Art Festival in 1996, and the Creativity Award in Baghdad in 2000. His works, often characterized by their exploration of the human condition amidst conflict, continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
