An international artist’s exhibition blending the rigidity of geometry with the fluidity of organic structures opened this week, alongside the Bahrain Arts Society’s annual art exhibition.
Egyptian creative Dr Waleed Kanoush is showcasing a range of his abstract creations during Pyramid, Tree and Moon – his solo exhibition taking place at the Art Centre, located near the National Museum.
“In this exhibition, I am bringing together a wide range of symbolic emotional and psychological allusions to nature and heritage in my abstract pieces,” he told GulfWeekly.
“These appear in compositions that merge the geometric with the organic, seeking to celebrate the aesthetics of the image through emotional expressions grounded in strong geometric abstraction and rigorous design.”
In the exhibition, Dr Waleed takes inspiration from motifs like palm trees, pyramids, the moon, and even the human body.
He then explores their emotional, ideological and even religious meanings in abstract pieces, creating a balance between the dominance of the geometric and the delicacy of the natural, and between the freshness of the contemporary and the antiquity of heritage.
