تستلهم أسماء باهميم أعمالها الفنيّة من المنمنمات الإسلامية، وقد كانت الفنانة حريصةعلى استكشاف المواضيع الحالية للعالم المعاصر من خلال تخيلها لمضمونه وشكله. وتسعى الفنانة إلى إحياء فن المنمنمات، والحفاظ على جاذبيته التقنية والجمالية. والشخصيات المصورة والمشاهد المعقدة المتعددة الطبقات في لوحاتها لا تثير فقط تساؤلات حول المفاهيم المُعبّر عنها، بل تطرح أسئلة عن طبيعة الفن وتصوّر فهمها السابق وممارستها.
Inspired by Islamic miniatures, the artist was keen to explore current themes of today’s world byway of reimagining its content and form. The artist endeavors to revive the art of miniature paintings, preserving its technique and aesthetical allure. The depicted figures and multi-layered complex scenes not only raise questions on the notions expressed, but about the nature of art and the perception of its former understanding and practice.
الخطوط والألوان عنصران بارزان في لوحات الدكتور عبدالمحسن فرحات، واستخدامه لهما، ليرمز في تصوير الأشكال والأماكن التأكيد على الصور الذهنية المألوفة للمناظر الطبيعية والثقافية، والدينية إلى دقة القضايا الأساسية فهدفه عدم المواجهة، ولكن تحقيق عدد لا يُحصى من التفسيرات البصرية والإيحائية.
Lines and color are prominent elements in Dr. Abdelmohsen’s paintings. His use of color and lines to depict forms and figures re-emphasize familiar mental images of cultural, natural and religious landscapes. The subtlety of the underlying issues addressed is intentional, as his aim is not to confront, but to realize a myriad of visual and conceptual interpretations.
المحليّة ليست فكرة مبسطة، فبناء الهوية هو تدفق معقد... ونظراً لسهولة الحصول على المعلومات، بات من الصعب في هذه الأيام وفي هذا العصر الفصل ما بين الفرد المحليّ وما بين المواطن العالمي الذي بات شاهداً على تقلبات العالم من حوله.
Locality is not a simplistic idea, the construction of identity is a complex influx. Due to the accessibility of information, it is getting harder at this day and age to separate one’s locality from one’s being a global citizen, witnessing the ups and downs of the world.
اللون هو العنصر الفلسفي القديم والنشط في لوحات حسين المحسن الفنية. واستخدامه للون هو محاولة للكشف عن الحقائق المدفونة داخل المُشاهد، فأعماله تسعى لتقديم رسالة، ومن بينها سعيه للتأثير على الاستجابات الفسيولوجية غير المكتشفة. بالنسبة للفنان، أعماله الفنية هي الرحلات البصرية التي تُثير نوعا من الحوار "المفتوح"؛ والذي يمكن أن يتحقق فقط عندما يتمّ تحفيزنا على التواصل بحرية في أنقى أشكالنا.
Color is an ancient and active philosophical element that is heavily explored in Hussein’s artistic practice. The use of color is the artist’s attempt to unearth truths buried within the viewer. His works are intended to deliver a message, one in which he strives to affect raw and uninhibited physiological and emotional responses. For the artist, his works are visual journeys that facilitate a type of “open” dialogue: a conversation that can only be realized when we are stimulated to communicate freely in our purest forms.
يحاول ماجد الثبيتي تسليط الضوء على العبارات المكتوبة والمنطوقة باللغة العربية من خلال وسائل الاتصال الحديثة، فمثلاً "ههه" هي اسم الصوت الذي يُخرجه الإنسان عند الضحك، وهو –هذا الحرف- يتكرر في جميع جزئيات الكلمة، بداية ووسطا ونهاية...وهو من خلال عمله هذا يطرح تساؤلا عن مدى ضرورة وفعالية هذه الكلمات في التعبير عن تعقيدات عالمنا المعاصر.
The work of Majed explores the shape and function of a written phrase used in today’s contemporary Arabic language. Introduced by modern means of communication, the word is the phonetic sound one makes when laughing. The Arabic letter “ha” is repeated throughout the word, and as such, its form changes depending on its position in the beginning, middle and end of the word. His work attempts to both shed light on the induction of written and spoken phrases into the language, and to question the necessity and effectiveness of these words in expressing the complexities of our contemporary world.
تحاول ندى الحلبي من خلال عملها الفني تجسيد الذاكريات الجماعية للعالم الفاضل، مجزأة وملاصقة لحقائق واقعها. عبر هذه الأعمال الفنيّة تُخفي الفنانة زمن البراءة، في محاولة لإيجاد السعادة، عاكسة أحلام الكثر الراغبين تحقيق حياة أفضل.
Nada’s work attempts to embody the collective memories of a utopian world, fragmented and juxtaposed with the truths of her reality. The works realize the loss of innocence, and the pursuit of happiness; reflecting the dreams of many for a better life.
علا حجازي هي رسامة توّقف عمرها الافتراضي بسبب الانتقال المفاجىء، والسفر المستمر. في بعض الأحيان، أجبرت علا على ترك مقتنياتها الشخصية التي تحمل قيمة عاطفية كبيرة، وتذكرها بفترة نشأتها. في محاولة لإعادة بناء هذه اللحظات، وتحاول علا توثيق الأشياء واللحظات التي تستحضر شعور الذكريات الماضية. تَجمّع الذكريات المتناثرة التي من خلالها تتمكن من وصف وتصور اللحظة التي تنقلها إلى الوقت الفائت من ماضيها
Ola Hejazi is a painter whose lifespan has been interrupted by frequent abrupt relocation, and constant travel. At times, she was forced to leave behind personal items that hold sentimental value, and embody memories of her upbringing. In an attempt to reconstruct these moments, Ola attempts to document the objects and moments in the present that trigger these fleeting memories of the past. The assemblage of fragmented memories is realized by depicting the instant in which an object is able to transport her to a lost time in her past.
لوحات سلطان بن فهد الكبيرة غالباً ما تغطيها طبقات سميكة من الطلاء، يتخللها خطوط جريئة من الألوان. وهو يعتمد هذا المقاس من اللوحات ليفرض وجودها على المشاهد، ليثير ردود فعل عاطفية، وليحقيق لحظة من الألفة والتناغم. يحاول من خلالها تسليط الضوء على حالتنا العاطفية، وكتذكير لِغرائزنا البشرية الفطرية.
Sultan bin Fahad’s large paintings are often covered completely with thick strokes of paint, interrupted with bold lines of color. Its scale is meant to impose its presence on the viewer, provoking an emotional response, and realizing a moment of intimacy and vulnerability. His works attempt to shed light on our emotional state, and pose as reminders of our natural human instincts.
الأحلام والذكريات
الأمس يغدو ذِكرى، و الغد يبقى حُلماً.
جبران خليل جبران.
الحلم والذكريات أحدهما يستدعي الآخر.. كلاهما يتنوع بتنوع حياتنا. اليوم نمر بتجارب مجموعة من الفنانين لنبحر معهم في أحلامهم وذكرياتهم.
Dreams And Memories
“Yesterday Is But Today’s Memory. Tomorrow Is Today’s Dream”
KahalilGibran
Our dreams and memories call upon each other; they rely on our experiences in the lives we’ve led. Today, we embark upon the visual narrative of artists as they explore their dream.
