Palestinian artist Malak Mattar marks her debut in Scotland with “Screams,” a new solo exhibition of drawings and paintings which directly respond to the unfolding genocide in Gaza, with Malak producing over 100 pieces. Departing from her previous vibrant and colourful style, this exhibition exposes a raw and unyielding emotional reaction. Through the exhibition, we present a captivating selection of these artworks, providing a profound insight into Malak’s unfiltered and powerful artistic response to the ongoing genocide, while also showcasing some of her earlier colourful works created before October 7th, as a glimpse of hope for the future of Palestine.

“My goal is to use art to shed light on the ongoing barbaric genocide in Gaza and to honour the resilience of fellow artists and every Palestinian spirit worldwide. The contrast reflects the transformation of my work influenced by genocide, with humanity being the sole reason to return to colour.”  – Malak Mattar
