The Artist Thamir Dawood goes to probe the depth of his
ego away from the ruling mob to proceed with the
directions of the visual forms across formation,
coloration and breaking the regular painting partition
and in this context, he's giving us areas of the dream
in Darbounah gallery through the painting area that
dedicated its references through the Iraqi painting
contexts we used to concerned with the expression,
formulation and formation beside diligent alterations to
each special climates. when we go back to the artist old
climates, we'll find him enjoying in the one dimension
climate which prevailed among a group of artistic Iraqi
generations, but now and in front of an experience that
experienced the colour and its revelation. this
sensation penetrate deeply into the artist's ego to
present a clean painting in organizing its elements to
arrive methods of placing colours through semi organized
areas where the sharp red breaks silence area in the
pure colour and line movements the artist carried out by
abrasion and uncovering the colour masks in the painting
ground, while on the other side we find that we are in
front of a surprising freedom the artist wanted to break
the art language ruled by silence, the neighboring of
hot and cold and the intersection of colour signs that
lead the audience to the painting geography beside the
richness of the pictorial surface that stays in the
changeable accumulation of colour material from one spot
to another.
Dawood's painting collects between steadiness of the
graphical formation and the pleasure of painting
together into a hard equation and needs to accurate
consciousness when the artist achieved an eye-catching
visual material through it that we don't have but to
respect. I believe that the artist Thamir could carry
out that equation between the strictness of the
graphical form, painting language and his freedom where
we find him dashes into coloured spaces belong to
freedom side in its feeling the graphical space those
works have in the nature of handling, formation and
finding clever solutions to that handling. even though
of the appearance of the shadows of influence of the
Iraqi art references from where the term formation is,
while he could find himself a place in his works through
various modifications of the one element beside his
trials to produce rich touches present the pictorial
surface as a multi radiant material concerned with depth
and colour composition reaching to exploit the colour
coincidence and include it into the formation sequence
he works, while we find him got rid of those influences
in his works to achieve his artistic work he belongs to
through clever stenography in the posed elements
material that enriched him and it's not a burden on him.
