Unnatural Inhumanity

An in-painting tour

Unnatural Inhumanity (2019) by Saad NajimAl-Ghad Radio

This intensely colorful and unrestrained figurative painting is characterised by the artist’s use of bright, non-naturalistic hues and rough application of paint rendered in sweeping dashes across the canvas.

This painting reads as a savage commentary of the unnatural inhumanity of the occupation of Mosul by ISIS.

Documenting the legacy of loss and despair through the ghostly face of the subject...

...who seems to be a spirit rather than a person of flesh and blood.
