My Iraq... The Destruction and Aftermath of Mesopotamia

Exhibition titled “My Iraq…The Destruction and Aftermath of Mesopotamia” will present over 25 original paintings. Paul Batou, a native Iraqi artist, had his first art show in Baghdad in 1980. In 1989 he moved to Los Angeles with his family. Inspired by his Assyrian-Chaldean heritage Paul continues to create art and write poems. Paul Batou paints scenes of ancient civilizations and their transformations into the cities and countries that people see today. He presents the relationship between the destruction and rebirth.

My Last Thoughts on Iraq is a timely book that will give the readers a glimpse inside Iraq during its most troubled times. Iraq at present is still at turmoil and Batou gives us insights on this place, its people and its gradual destruction. It reveals the state of fear in Iraq, the wars, invasions and sanctions that led to the decay of modern Baghdad and the suffering of its citizens around the world.
