Othman Moussa

‘The Terror Group’

The Damascus-based Syrian artist is known for his realist still-life paintings. As the Syrian conflict began over a decade ago, its impact began to materialize in Moussa’s works, such as this one — “turning everyday objects into subjects of war,” the gallery’s website states. “Something as simple as food is now transformed into a weapon, reflecting the presence of violence in the most minor details of life.”
