Damascus-SANA
The plastic artist Fidaa Mansour continues his journey with the circular experience through his solo exhibition entitled “Kandeels” in Louay Kayali Gallery in the Arab Gallery, presenting a group of works he recently completed within this experiment.
The exhibition, which included 27 large-sized paintings using the oil technique, reflected the development of the artist Mansour’s experience in terms of composition, calligraphy, and color combination in harmony with the diversity of topics and its richness between silent nature and feminine and human situations with several paintings that embodied the atmosphere of the Syrian rural environment.
Regarding the exhibition, the plastic artist Mansour said in a statement to SANA: "I named this exhibition the title of Qandeel because of the diversity of its topics. Each painting illuminates a specific topic in the dark corners of the human soul and expressed my vision of life through it."
Artist Mansour finds that each new exhibition within the circular experience tends to simplify more at the level of line and composition, with the adoption of shortening in the details resulting from several stages of work on the vocabulary of the painting.
The artist, Fidaa Mansour, was born in the city of Jableh. He graduated from the College of Fine Arts in Damascus in 1999 and completed his postgraduate studies. He is a teacher at the Institute of Plastic and Applied Arts. He has several solo exhibitions and many participations in group exhibitions inside Syria. He completed an artistic mural entitled The Silk Road on the wall of the Chinese Embassy in Damascus.
