Flavorpill visits G+R

Thanks to Noémie Bonnet of Flavorpill for this review:

Iraqi-born American painter Ahmed Alsoudani builds tumultuous compositions about violence, war, and human suffering, juxtaposing human and bestial figures whose violent disembodiment seems to unfold right on the canvas. Within these surreal landscapes, art-historical references abound, including allusions to Picasso's Guernica, Bacon's overhead lights, and Bosch's Fall of the Rebel Angels. Painterly elements in disconcertingly vivid colors are placed alongside sections of charcoal drawings on un-primed canvas, letting the mood sway unsteadily somewhere between beautiful and haunting.
