About this artwork
Anzabi's new project called the vulnerable series is about women and their roles in life and their effect on war.The decaying flower in the middle is a symbol of a life destroyed by war. The women is a symbol for fertility, which emphasises how women are vulnerable in war and even more at risk of being affected by war. The soldiers are confused as to why they are in this war with the people they are against as they know the war in reality is not…
between the people ,but between authority figures. This is presented through the head of the soldier which has exploded. Review by: Asra Y

U.K. based painter Aziz Anzabi has exhibited work in the U.S., the Netherlands, and Iran. Anzabi mixes a near-extinct Iranian style of peeling paper on canvas with traditional oil-on-canvas techniques. Anzabi's work is very socially engaged-her latest series, "Life," explores people who were forced to immigrate due to war. Engaging with contemporary issues through a surrealist lens, Anzabi's paintings feature voluminous shapes, intricate details, and stark contrasts.
