We Die Out of Hand
Ahmed Alsoudani's *We Die Out of Hand* is a visceral and chaotic composition executed in charcoal, pastel, gouache, graphite, and acrylic on paper, layering fragmented figures and distorted forms into a dense, nightmarish tableau. The work reflects Alsoudani's signature fusion of raw mark-making and explosive color, evoking themes of violence, trauma, and political upheaval rooted in his experiences growing up in Iraq. Jagged lines and smeared passages of pigment collide across the surface, creating a sense of urgency and psychological tension that demands confrontation.
