Damascus-SANA
The plastic artist Younis El-Sayed embodies in his exhibition, which opened today in Tagliat hall, under the title A Long Night, the state of pain he experienced on a personal level and the concerns of the homeland in a different way, in which he focused on playing with colors.
The young artist's paintings, numbering about twenty, of different sizes and various techniques, embodied contradictions. Sometimes he painted roses in red color, and sometimes he painted the female, and sometimes he expressed the pain inside him that he experienced for years.
In a statement to SANA reporter, Al-Sayed pointed out that the title of his exhibition is inspired by the dark period that everyone experienced during the war years, pointing out that the exhibition deals with psychological aspects of human beings such as fear, anxiety, turmoil and the basic needs that he requires, such as warmth, love and peace.
And he indicated that he tried, after long experiments that spanned for three years, to find a specific line that can bring out the feelings and feelings that he can pass through certain lines and colors.
Al-Sayed seeks to make his exhibition part of a series of ideas that he seeks to present in his upcoming paintings to embody social aspects affecting the lives of Syrians.
During her attendance at the opening of the exhibition, Minister of Culture Dr. Lubana Mushawah believed that the pain that the plastic artist Younis went through, as many of us went through, was manifested in his works and paintings, noting that the paintings contain many contradictions and pain with a lot of calm that follows the storm within the artist’s endeavor to vent the pain in a way Or another and the search for warmth and tenderness.
The plastic artist and critic Ammar Hassan saw that a long night is not an easy word, as it is many years of the war, during which the artist embodied the states of anxiety and pain that he experienced as he varied with his paintings, so he painted roses as a metaphor for pain and the coming dawn, silence and stillness in other paintings.
