Athier Mousawi
1982
Iraq
Athier Mousawi is a contemporary Iraqui painter. His compositions echo and embrace the floating nature of uncertainty of the world around him. Within his paintings, the artist creates meticulously designed three dimensional scenes. He explores how objects can exist together, disregarding factors such as gravity and spacial hierarchy. The elements collide, float, move and melt without constraint. Colour has always been a part of Athier’s practice and in recent years this exploration has begun to move into a meditative process. Ethereal echoes of distant memories and conceptual nostalgia are layered into his work directly though his palette. Bleached out and sun drenched pastels which have less potency and vigour than the more recognisable bold palettes of past works produce an internal light within the compositions, allowing the viewer to breathe calmly as they navigate his world.
