then let him leave

Remixed Masterpieces Highlight Devastation in Syria

After witnessing all of the violence happening in his homeland of Syria, artist Tammam Azzam decided he would use his artistic ability to make a statement. With his family, the artist escaped Damascus after living through the first seven months of the revolution. While he had previously been a prolific painter, he had lost his studio due to the relocation, and so he turned to digital art to see what he could come do.


In early 2013, Azzam made headlines worldwide when the piece above, called Freedom Graffiti, went viral. It showed Gustav Klimit's famous painting The Kiss photoshopped onto a bullet-ridden building in Damascus. The work was part of a series called Syrian Museum that takes famous masterpieces and combines them with actual scenes of devastation across Syria. The project is meant to bring attention to the destruction of the cultural heritage in Syria while also "paralleling the greatest achievements of humanity with the destruction it is also capable of inflicting.”

Until January 30, some of this socially-charged work is showing at Ayyam Gallery, both in the London and Beirut locations.

King of Leon - Closer


Stranded in this spooky town,
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
Snow is crackling cold,
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run,
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Drivin' by the strangle of vain
Showin' no mercy I'll do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are beneath me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer

You sh-sh-shock my bones,
Leavin' me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good when I'm home
2000 years of chasing takin' it's toll

And it's coming closer
