Immediately there was something that struck me about Zuheir Dabbagh’s style of painting and sculpting. I can not tell what it is that attracts me to it but I find the image above my faviourite of all of his work which I researched. I find it beautiful calming and the yellow in it very appropriate. It is Dabbagh’s use of colour which I believe completes and frames his work in a way I need to harbour and use in my own.
Dabbagh discovers the beauty of the human body in his sculptures and paintings without seeming crude and exposing. He portrays his emotions and meaning through the colours and layout of his paintings and through the movement of his sculptures. Two aspects which I will need to use and emphasize in my photography to portray the meaning of my own work effectively.
