SERWAN BARAN
Kurdistan-Jordan-Lebanon | Artist

At one point, Serwan chose to do abstract work, but his abstraction came close to depicting some form of a body. Perhaps his work on horses led him to his habit of dropping a strong mass of figures on surfaces. Design and abstract ideas in art could be related to the motives and roots of the artist. What is exciting about Serrwan is that he loves to drop mass on a big space. He has guts, and a troubled relationship with strong figures and space.
