Composite Terracotta Sculpture By Ali Al Jabiri, 20th Century

A prolific Iraqi artist, Ali al Jabiri has lived in Rome for many years, where he completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts. He is renowned in his homeland for his major monumental works in various Middle Eastern countries, particularly the gigantic three-ton Plexiglas monument dedicated to the children killed in the war in Baghdad, as well as numerous other sculptures in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and, more recently, Qatar.

He has achieved great success thanks to his numerous participations in the Venice Biennale. His works can also be seen in Gaeta, Lecce, and Chieti.

A promoter of the neo-symbolist art group "Percettivisti," he is a member of ARCA (Association for Cultural and Artistic Research), which aims to support and promote the work of young artists.

Composite terracotta work, signed on the left front and on the back, in good condition.
