These original oil paintings are profoundly influenced by Dr. Al Masri’s unique background in art and archaeology. Inspired by his research in the ancient civilizations, Al Masri’s works reflect the cultural forces that have shaped the Middle East region: Assyrian, Mesopotamian, Sumerian, Persian, African, Egyptian, and Nabatean. His works are abundant with ancient symbols, hieroglyphs, early Arabic writing, cuneiform inscriptions, and ancient icons - sometimes juxtaposed with contemporary themes and symbols taken from the world around him. Modern images such as a playful kite, a whimsically curved palm tree, or a graffiti-like arrow are placed alongside symbols and icons central to ancient civilizations, such as those representing fertility and immortality. The viewer is easily drawn in, attempting to decipher and connect the hidden meanings in his work. The visual interplay of the past and present merges together to create incredibly original and innovative art. Al Masri’s non-traditional medium and technique further emphasize the spirit of the ancients. Hist works are not just painted, but carved and sculptural in appearance. In lieu of a canvas, he works on a specially prepared wooden panel. Using wood carving tools, he skillfully carves his images and designs, resulting in works that closely resemble ancient tablets or carvings in both texture and appearance. His masterful use of oil paint with colors rich in warm earth tones, combined with fresh and confident brushstrokes, complete the unconventional and powerful works of art. With a subject befitting a Jordanian artist and archaeologist, Dr. Al Masri’s doctoral work focused on the Nabateans, whose civilization flourished in the first-century B.C. throughout Northwest Arabia, its capitol at Petra in present- day Jordan. Al Masri’s thesis, centered on the sculptural representations and mythology of Nabatean deities, provides rich inspiration for many of his paintings. His works pulse with the Nabatean theme; several of the effigies unearthed in the region of Petra are brilliantly interpreted and adapted to appear prominently in his work. Combining art and archaeology, there is an obvious visual connection between this 2000 year-old city that was carved into stone and Al Masri’s work – further emphasized by the fact that his paintings themselves seem to be carved into stone. His splendid use of ancient symbols and icons and his unique technique brings the past clearly into the present, reacquainting the viewer with history that should never be forgotten. In addition to his academic credentials, he is an accomplished artist, having exhibited his work to great acclaim in Austria, Kuwait, Lebanon, Tunisia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. His paintings can be found in an impressive number of private collections across Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and the Gulf countries. Presently, he serves as an assistant professor of Ancient Civilizations at Hashemite University in Jordan, passing on his great admiration for the Ancients to his students. In his paintings, Dr. Eyad captures the spirit and strength of antiquity and brings it full force to the viewer with his every brushstroke and design. He interprets the past and the present, bringing both together in truly unique and mesmerizing works. One cannot help but be in awe of the creative genius and originality in the paintings of Dr. Eyad Al Masri. He is inspired by the past, but not held to tradition. His work must be seen and, like the history of the Ancients, it will be remembered. -- Jeanne Whatley, Caravan Galleries - (AJ.072) Origin: Jordan Collection: Contemporary « Less

Simple purity are words that can best describe the work entitled "Mitosis" by Drew McRitchie on a planetary level, he has chosen to examine the grandeur of the microscopic world. Focusing on only one molecule, Mc Ritchie elevates it to the super-real, a level that can only be examined with the most powerful of microscopes. Upon first glance however, one may confuse this image with a planet and orbiting satellite. Regardless of its interpretation, an air of serenity and calm are bestowed upon this work. - (DMR.0001) Dimensions: 39" (99.1cm) high x 48" (121.9cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Board « Less

A miracle is about to happen before us in that Drew McRitchie's "Ontomorphosis". the artist wonderfully juxtaposes the life and youth of this beautiful body in relation to the stark emptiness of the background, recalling the fossilized past. This beautiful scene expresses reminiscence and rebirth--the insect becoming a butterfly, the girl becoming a woman. Soon the impersonal shade covering her young face is going to disappear and let her maturity take over. - (DMR.0003) Dimensions: 46" (116.8cm) high x 44" (111.8cm) wide Catalogue: V10 Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Board « Less

The painting “Cyborg†represents heaven, earth and hell, depicted as a trio of characters. The sexual and innocent modern angel symbolizes every man's dreams of the ideal woman, in other words, heaven. The cyborg character, half human and half machine, represents our mechanical world with all its incumbent powers. This ferocious power is realized as we watch the creature lift a large dumbbell, whose ends are comprised of a pair of mighty feline heads, complete with snarling fangs. Lastly, the gatekeeper of hell is portrayed as a devil in the form of an octopus-like creature. Together this triumvirate works in tandem, displaying for us their interrelatedness, balance and all- encompassing power. They stand before us in an earthly setting, tethered to the world of reality, forcing us to realize their existence in the world as we know it. - (EW.0001) Circa: 1980 AD to 1990 AD Dimensions: 48" (121.9cm) high x 48" (121.9cm) wide Catalogue: V10 Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Canvas « Less
