Subject

Men at work in a factory

Description

In this painting, Faraj Abbu has created a scene of focused activity as a group of men go about their various daily tasks. The composition is tied together through the repetition of the round shape of the workers white helmets and the placement of the figures in a semi-circular pattern. The men and their surroundings are rendered in a painterly fashion with details obscured, which gives a sense of the stifling conditions of their environment.
