Natiq Aziz ... The dream of the world ...

And the madness of analytical awareness .....

Dr. Salah Hadi Bishn

Critic and visual artist

The strange form of the artist (Natiq Aziz) flows with visual texts that provoke controversy, to raise the problem of the self and it opens the dialogue again towards the world that it is a dual syndrome, i.e. (self / world) in disguised formations where it is formed by a symbolic language of a special style, so the condensation that occurs in his formations with its symbolism is what the artist tries to come out with a meaning, so the conflict between his self and the self of the visible that is in front of us, forms a visual discourse that narrates that there is a consciousness separated from its forms, phenomena and patterns of appearance, so the totality of its forms and phenomena is undoubtedly not always present in this consciousness, so it is a conflict in (the depths of the imagination), so consciousness is madly present by analyzing its perceptions and seeing the world as it sees it.
