About the work

A small dark figure stands upright against a vast grey textured ground, gazing upward toward a layered horizon of warm ochre and olive bands, above which a shrouded white form hovers with a single red motif. The composition evokes a sense of isolation and longing, rendered with the rich tonal contrasts and fine mark-making of intaglio printmaking.

About the artist

Ghayath Al Akhras — Graphic, Print Making , 24 × 24 cm (representative image)
Ghayath Al Akhras

Syria, b. 1937

Ghayath Al Akhras (غياث الأخرس), born in 1937 in Syria, is a prominent Syrian painter and visual artist whose career spans several decades. Known for his expressive use of color and dynamic compositions, Al Akhras has explored a range of mediums, primarily focusing on painting. His work often reflects the cultural and social landscape of Syria, blending elements of abstraction with figurative motifs that evoke both personal and collective memory.

Al Akhras has exhibited widely in Syria and the broader Arab world, with notable institutional exhibitions including shows at the National Museum of Damascus and participation in regional biennials. His art has been recognized for its contribution to the development of modern Syrian painting, and he is regarded as a significant figure among his contemporaries. In the secondary market, works by Ghayath Al Akhras have appeared at major auction houses such as Christie's, where his paintings have attracted attention from collectors interested in Middle Eastern modern art. His enduring influence is evident in the continued interest in his work among both institutions and private collectors.

Expressionism

Art that prioritizes emotion and inner experience over realistic depiction, using distortion, bold color, and energetic mark-making. In the region it gave modern artists a language for memory, displacement, and identity.
