IRAQ: Art in troubled times, III

Painter Dhia Khuzae's works are multimedia collages of color, texture and line drawing. The bicycle is a running motif throughout his works, as are the mysterious faces of two young women. Perhaps this work is an attempt to capture the bright colors and fading memories of a long-ago childhood.
