Subject

Abstract Composition with Horizontal Humanoid Figure

Description

In this enigmatic composition by Al-Basri the symbolic qualities are intertwined with the aesthetic. At the lower portion of the canvas there appears a horizontal humanoid figure that has taken on the characteristics of the brush and paint that created it. Despite the difficulty of interpretation, the intentional use of color, texture, and line points to a deeper message.
