Born in 1958, Syria.
EN Born in Syria in 1958, Moualla is considered as one of the leading post-modern artists of Syrian expressionism. He was the first to introduce performance in his work and was first exhibited at Atassi Gallery in 1997, with an exhibition entitled 'A tribute to Saadallah Wannaous' (a Syrian playwright). Moualla graduated from the Damascus University of Fine Arts and later from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. Since then, his works have been displayed in various exhibitions in Dubai, Cairo, Paris, Istanbul and Graz (Austria). Ahmad Moualla is renowned for his beautifully-painted and highly dramatic canvases. Moualla’s theatrical big-scale paintings deal with several themes: the relationship between the individual and society, the power of past and present icons, the fine line between reality and fiction, and the conscious and subconscious mind.
FR Né en Syrie en 1958, Moualla est considéré comme une figure majeure des artistes post-modernes de l'expressionnisme Syrien, comme le premier artiste syrien à introduire la performance dans son art et premier à être représenté à la galerie Atassi en 1997 au sein de l'exposition "A tribute to Saadallah Wannaous" (dramaturge Syrien). Diplômé de l'Université des Beaux-Arts de Damas et de l'école des Beaux-Arts de Paris, l'artiste acquit une reconnaissance dans le monde entier en participant à des foires et expositions à Dubai, au Caire, à Istanbul, à Londres parmi de nombreuses autres. Ahmad Moualla s'est fait connaitre par ses toiles aux tonalités dramatiques. Privilégiant les grands formats, les peintures de Moualla traitent souvent des relations qui lient l'individu à la société, du pouvoir des icônes passées et présentes, du conscient et de l'inconscient, et de la frontière de plus en plus floue entre réalité et fiction. |
