"Noose," Painting by Haitham Eid, on Display at New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture and History
New Orleans, LA, February 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Artist Haitham Eid exhibits his latest painting “Noose” in the 10th Annual Martin Luther King Exhibit at New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture and History at 1418 Governor Nicholls St., New Orleans LA 70116, from January 21, 2008 to April 21, 2008.
At the second floor in the New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture and History an African mask and a suite are on display. These two pieces were an inspiration for Haitham’s painting “Noose”. While he was taking his Master classes at the museum in the summer and the fall of 2007, he had a special connection with these two pieces. The way that the mask and the suite were set together looked like a person who was being hanged from his neck. It was a shape of a human figure without soul. It’s the same state of a man after being tortured, humiliated and persecuted, Haitham thought.
In the “Noose” a shape of a body without hands or legs is remembering the systematic torture and humiliation procedures that he went through in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The digital images (actual pictures from Abu Ghraib prison) are flowing from his brain bleeding and filling the floor with blood. On the left side of the painting is a rope hanging down from the top forming a noose.
“Noose” is a mixed media 71” X 45”. Haitham said in his statement “My art is a resistance against terrorism and war drummers. It’s a brick in the freedom foundation. My art is a message of love to all mankind and a prayer to save it from perishing.”
