SABHAN ADAM

The Syrian artist Sabhan Adam breaks with all the traditional conventions of beauty.  There is something strangely compelling about his distorted and misshapen creatures, a compulsion that removes the limitations of our own judgments of beauty in others and in ourselves.  Are we right to admire physical perfection?  Does this exterior and transient perfection reflect the lasting spiritual?  What are these conventions anyway, and is it true beauty that we see or merely the influence of our cultural milieu?
