Well known German art critic Elmar Zorn (2018 ) states that " Today, at this exhibition of paintings by the Iraqi -American artist Mohammed Al-Sadoun in Hall 50 of Atelier House at Domagk Park, we witness another example of such artistic statements and representations. The brutal reality documented in Al-Sadoun’s pictures cannot erase the horrible images. That would not be humanly possible and it remains for a god to redeem humankind from all the suffering and guilt. But it is probably the only way to cope with such images. The artist has accepted this duty as a representative of the community. The intensity of Al-Sadoun’s grappling with this theme is absolutely harrowing".
