Endless Love Poem

Religious symbolism laced in sensitive renderings of ordinary people in Syria resounds in the artwork of prolific modernist artist Fateh Al Moudarres. Aleppo-born Al Moudarres is considered an important leader in Syria’s modern and surrealist art movements, culling forms from Assyrian antiquity, as well as Christian and Muslim symbolism. He employs a recognisable expressionist style that touches on themes of kinship, social deprivation, modernisation and rural society.
