Dark And Intense

Ahmed Alsoudani

Iraqi-born Ahmed Alsoudani fled his home country during the first Gulf War, eventually claiming asylum in the United States. Taking his childhood experiences of war as inspiration, Alsoudani explores the subject of, and his concern with, contemporary conflict. A graduate of the prestigious Yale MFA program, Alsoudani represented Iraq in the 2013 Venice Biennale and has had solo shows in London, Los Angeles, New York and Berlin.

"Well, the words on my drawings and paintings also function as a kind of 'signature' or a 'tag.' As for 'self-revelations,' sometimes I do want to appear as 'nothing more to lose' but just as much as 'nothing can ever be lost.'" Bjarne Melgaard, 2006
