An art exhibition featuring the works of a group of renowned Syrian artists is set be unveiled next Sunday at the Art Concept gallery in Bahrain.
Telling a story about their homeland as well as their hopes for its future, the 12 artists from multiple generations will be exhibiting their unique styles and techniques from April 30 to May 28.
It will be open to the public from Sunday to Thursday from 10am to 2pm in the morning and 3pm to 6pm in the afternoon. On Saturday, it is open from 3 pm to 7 pm.
“Contemplating Syrian art over the past few years, one can see fear, demolished homes, and emptiness,” novelist, screenwriter and artist Khaled Khalefa noted. “They have managed to expand the spectrum of experimentation and bring different generations of artists for the first time to work on the same subject, yet in different ways.”
Artists showcased in the exhibition include Sarab Al Safadi, Omran Younis, Edward Shahda and Reem Tarraf.
