Subject

Abstracted village scene

Description

In this abstracted composition, Ismail al Shaikhly has focused the action in the central portion of the canvas. Humanoid forms are insinuated through the display of garmented figures scattered amongst faded architectural structures. Vegetation is also hinted at by way of plumes of greenery emerging from faint lines. The remainder of the composition is obscured with the think application of paint smears. The color palette of this painting ranges from bright oranges to subdued blues.
