Ali Taleb :- IRAQ

Born in Basrah in 1944. Works and lives in Jordan.

Taleb's earlier pieces painted in the seventies are striking for their well painted surfaces and their astonishing lime green backgrounds, with lightly etched array of symbols which range from Miro type heads to rockets. His more recent work is a bolder more darkly powerful image whose title " Happenings in the head" describes it more sufficiently and eloquently than any wordy description.
