Considered to be among the most accomplished Arab painters and printmakers, Dalloul’s works merge contemporary disciplines with traditional materials such as ink, sepia and handmade paper.
Ziad Dalloul's earthen palette, recalling memories of the lands of his childhood in Syria and Algeria, is the artist’s spiritual reckoning of thinking the past in the present.
Considered among the most accomplished Arab painters and printmakers, Ziad Dalloul has been captivated with natures mortes, or still life, noting that the English word describes his practice more faithfully than the French one.
Accompanying and complementing the main premise of Sharjah Biennial 10, Plot for a Biennial explores the concept of a ‘conversation’ through printed matter.
