(Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern & North African Art, 22nd April 2021) NADIRA AZZOUZ (BRITISH / IRAQI, 1927 - 2020) NADIRA AZZOUZ (BRITISH / IRAQI, 1927 - 2020) Conversation 1986 signed Nadira in Arabic (lower left) mixed media on canvas 40 x 30 cm (15 3/4 x 11 3/4 in) PROVENANCE By descent from the artist The current work depicts three Arab women (one carrying a child) in deep conversation on the way to the Souk. Iraqi born British artist Nadira Azzouz began painting from the age of six. She gained her BA in painting from the Central School of Art and Design, London. She continued to paint until her death in December 2020. For Azzouz, painting often became a communication with inner visions, inner eruptions to which no figure or word could do justice, hence her emphasis and play on colour. Her more recent works show a more lyrical and diaphanous side to her practice.
