Iraqi artist Mohammed Sami, known for his works inspired by the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, is currently showcasing 14 new pieces at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, UK. The exhibition titled “After the Storm” features paintings that reflect on the grandeur of the English estate, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. One of the notable works, “Immortality,” reimagines a famous photograph of Churchill, while “Chandelier” references warfare with a drone motif. “Hiroshima Mon Amour” alludes to the tragic events of Hiroshima in 1959. Sami’s exploration of global conflicts is evident throughout the exhibition, which will be attended by European leaders. The show, organized by the Blenheim Art Foundation, is the ninth contemporary art exhibition held at the palace. Sami, represented by renowned galleries in London and New York, has garnered significant acclaim in the art world. The exhibition will run until October 6, offering visitors a unique perspective on history and contemporary art.
