The Catalogue A World of Colour & Emotion: Satta Hashem accompanies the first retrospective of artist Satta Hashem at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery and will be available to purchase in the museum shop at £25.

Visitors meet in the exhibition A World of Colour & Emotion: Satta Hashem.

Drop in event, no booking required.

Hashem’s work reflects his Iraqi heritage, using deep saturated colours to explore how art can make sense of life, death and war and the role of the artist in conflict.

Weaving a tapestry of current realities, mythology, tragedy, and imagination with intense consideration of colour. The resulting portraits and compositions evoke the earliest depictions of the human face found in ancient Sumerian masks and temple plaques.
