Information

Tammam Azzam’s solo exhibition Aftermath features a new series of watercolors that explore destruction and its lasting traces. The artist's work focuses on urban landscapes that have been disfigured by war and violence. His cityscapes appear as fragile skeletons, ruins of once-vibrant places. With delicate lines and striking color accents, he creates compelling compositions that reflect not only Syria but also the universal consequences of armed conflict. Balancing documentary precision with painterly abstraction, his works reveal the scars of destruction and the silence that follows.
