More than 50 colourful glass and crystal sculptures made by Bahraini-British artist Louis Jawad, using locally-available materials, have been showcased at an exhibition at the Art Centre, Manama.
The event, titled ONE: Thematic Journeys Through Glass, features seven collections, made over seven years, that highlight the kingdom’s rich history and explores the relationship between natural resources, cultural heritage and modern innovation.
The 30-year-old is following in the footsteps of his father, Jeyad Jawad, who is believed to be the first Bahraini stained glass artist, having worked on some of the kingdom’s most iconic landmarks, including palaces, mosques and malls. He was also featured in the GDN more than 25 years ago for his unique craft and talent.
