Dia Azzawi in his London studio. He left Iraq under Saddam Hussein in 1976 and is now one of Iraq's most influential artists. He exhibits in London, Paris and the Middle East including Dubai and Jordan. This is a print of the design for a possible then future monumental sculpture, "Seven Golden Odes" and that's Azzawi at the bottom to give a sense of scale.
