Memories Revisited, Ahmad Alkarkhi’s new exhibition at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery, showcases his intensely worked abstract expressionist paintings.

Hot colors, dense brushstrokes and a pentimento of architectural and calligraphic references reflect his vivid memories of the Iraq he was forced to flee.

These new paintings invoke strong feelings of beauty and loss, while providing a passage to the new reality of his life as a painter in the United States.
