ARTEEAST Virtual Gallery - Arts and Cultures of the Middle East and its diasporas

About the Virtual Gallery

ArteEast's Virtual Gallery aims to create an on-line presence for emerging as well as established artists operating within and outside the Middle East. An advisory board comprised of international artists and critics will select one artist's body of work, up to 20 images, to be featured every three months on ArteEast's website

Featured Artist: Louay Kayyali

December 2008


		Kirsten Scheid and Jessica Winegar introduce the work of Louay Kayyali, a Syrian artist whose work was well-known in Syria during his life-time but was little known beyond Syria, perhaps due to his socialist commitment and lyrical figurative style. His posthumous entry to the auction market has not been accompanied by awareness of his goals in using modernism. This exhibition provides translations of Louay's own reflections on his work as well as paintings representing the array of his formal interests and approaches.
