Damascus-SANA
22 graduates of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting and Painting, participated in a group exhibition in which their paintings differed in their dimensions, visions, and materials used, but in general they expressed the psychological and social situation experienced by today's youth.
Each of these graduates participated in the exhibition organized by Zawaya Gallery, with one or more small or medium sizes in oil, acrylic, charcoal, and various other materials.
Dr. Buthaina Ali, a teacher at the College of Fine Arts, pointed out the importance of the exhibition, which embraces the products of the last batch of college graduates, with their foundations based on what they learned in the college, which made them present themselves distinctly, each according to his own way.
Ali indicated that art needs elements, free thought, visual and intellectual culture, and basics, but it has no constants, and the most important thing in her opinion is that it be honest.
Among the participating graduates, Salam Issa presented two paintings, size 30-90, entitled “Vacuum,” noting that they express the situation that we have lived through during the last decade of the consequences of the terrorist war on our country, using black as a sign of great color austerity, as she expressed the void through ash, coal and other techniques.
Shadi Moussa participated in two paintings, one of which embodied the poet Al-Hallaj while he was in his youth, and he entered his poems in them using the Arabic calligraphy technique.
Nour Salman, director of Zawaya, considered that the exhibition, although it includes various works, but the works of the majority of the participants are good and deserve that the owners take their chance and learn about the reactions of the audience and critics to refine their experience and raise their level.
