About the work

Explosive bursts of yellow, red, and orange erupt above a sweeping dark mass streaked with white and deep blue, creating a dramatic tension between light and shadow. The heavily textured surface pulses with raw energy through thick, gestural marks layered across the composition.

About the artist

Mohammad Bushnaq — Oil On Canvas, 115 × 187 cm (representative image)
Mohammad Bushnaq

Jordan, b. 1934–2017

Mohammad Bushnaq (محمد بشناق), born in 1934 in Haifa and later based in Jordan, was a prominent Palestinian-Jordanian artist recognized for his significant contributions to modern Arab art. Bushnaq’s artistic practice spanned painting and sculpture, with a distinctive style characterized by expressive forms and a deep engagement with themes of heritage, displacement, and identity. His works often reflect the Palestinian experience, rendered through a modernist lens that blends abstraction with figurative elements.

Bushnaq’s art has been exhibited in major institutions across the Arab world, including the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, where his works are part of the permanent collection. He participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout his career, earning recognition for his role in shaping contemporary art in Jordan and the broader region. His legacy is further cemented by his influence on younger generations of artists and his active involvement in cultural initiatives.

At auction, Mohammad Bushnaq’s works have appeared at reputable houses such as Christie’s, where his paintings and sculptures have attracted collectors interested in modern Middle Eastern art. His pieces continue to be sought after, reflecting both his artistic merit and his importance as a chronicler of Palestinian and Jordanian cultural narratives. Bushnaq passed away in 2017, leaving behind a lasting impact on the art scenes of both Jordan and Palestine.

Mixed media

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.
