Syrian Artist Reworks Masterpieces
Syrian artist Tammam Azzam has found his own way of speaking out against the Syrian crisis. using famous paintings from the Western world projected against bombed buildings, Azzam aims to “draw attention to the tragedy of Syria.” His most popular work, “Freedom Graffiti” (pictured), shows Klimt’s “The Kiss” superimposed onto a bombed Syrian building. “I chose it as an icon of love, a way of looking for the stories of love behind this wall that was completely obliterated by the machinery of war,” he said.
