It seems to me that with the development of the critical spirit we shall be able to realize, not merely our own selves, but the collective life of the race, and so to make ourselves absolutely modern, in the true meaning of the word modernity. For he to whom the present is the only thing that is present knows nothing of the age in which he lives. . . . To know anything about oneself, one must know all about others. There must be no mood with which one cannot sympathize, no dead mode of life that one cannot make alive.
Autoren-Porträt von Shawkat Al-Rubaie. Al-Rubaie
Shawkat was born in Mesan, south of Iraq, in 1940. His interest in art piqued at an early age when a teenage friend suggested they spend one dreary afternoon drawing. It was at that moment that he discovered his lifework. Shawkat began his art education at the Baghdad Academy of Art, where he studied in the classical and immersed himself in applications of technique and design. After that, he began pursuing fine art, visiting museums to study master works and painting alongside contemporary artists. Shawkat found his passion in painting from life. This direct approach to working with the figure and landscape allowed him to see and attempt to capture the infinite nuances of light, color, and form. This continues to drive his enthusiasm today. Since then he has been featured in solo and group shows across the country and has won several awards at prominent national invitational exhibitions, and his work has been collected both nationally and internationally.The artist’s skillful and technically adept work celebrates the created world, the human form, personal relationships with a connection to landscapes, and environments of special importance. Many of his figures are dressed in dramatic clothing, which he often invents for its aesthetic appeal and lyrical quality so as to achieve a sense of otherworldliness. His subjects evoke a timelessness and idealism, yet for the most part has drawn upon his home and community, including family and friends, for subject matter. His sense of intimacy and honesty with regard to his subjects are a direct result of his closeness and proximity to them. A projection of tranquility, repose, and rich introspection results from his knowledge of the content of his art.
In the commonplace, he is transformed into a higher reality and, consequently, a sense of greater importance. Emotions are a vital part of his expressive design, while his mastery of anatomy, the human form, and complex surfaces combine to make his canvases very powerful
