Painting Description: No 9

An outlandish incident with a physical content... It’s a fun game between yesterday and tomorrow... It’s an icon of love designated in red as a bloody battle won by Antarah. It’s a battle through which body parts were blown away in a complex structural formation. It is the scene of heroism displayed in front of Abla’s eyes. The desired goal of the red bear in such artwork is a remarkable narrative and pictorial imagination... The naming of the incident with the red bear is beautiful, strange and problematic; it provokes deep interpretation, especially in terms of the inclusion of childhood innocence and its symbolism at the peak of the ferocious battle! This is an imagery that travels through Shubbarialism to plant a seed for Iraqi Dadaism.
