Mohammed Sami (IQ, b. 1984) draws on memories of his childhood in Iraq and his flight from the country. He was the winner of the Turner Prize in 2025 and is regarded as one of the most promising painters of his generation. His paintings do not depict people, but convey their presence through empty spaces. Sami’s work has recently been exhibited at venues including MoMA New York, Tate Britain and the Camden Art Centre in London.
