Besher Koushaji as part of an international exhibition

At London's Gallery Rosenfeld. The exhibition titled, Painting the Figure, will run from the 24th of November 2020 – 6th of February 2021, will feature works by 8 artists hailing from 8 different countries. Each artist has, for very different reasons, made the figure the major protagonist in their works. Besher Koushaji breaks up our vision of his figures, augmented and sectioned and arranges them amidst an apparently perfect world, which refers to his idyllic memories of a Syria he once knew but which, tragically, no longer stands as such.
The current fascination with figuration has, contemporaneously, led to a return to the artistic debate on both human identity and the drama inherent in the human condition and plight.
