Qassab has held numerous solo exhibitions throughout the world,
among them at Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale and the Institute
du Monde Arab. Qassab shows through his paintings the pain
of human soul and its aspirations, and has 23 paintings at
Darat al Funun.
The human being in a state of excitement and grief at the
same time is among his hallmarks. The faces he portrays are
always ideal, unique and anonymous all at once.
"Through the colors and faces, I speak my senses and express
my vision of things, the state of my heart," said the artist.
He uses different angles and colorful symbols to attract observers
from the first glimpse, and believes art is an "attempt to
question the visual process." |
According to him, the artist lends his dream to the viewer with
every work he presents, "but when standing in front of a painting
one sees his own dream."
Schwedes was born in 1950 in Berlin, where she studied art.
She is spellbound by the magic of Petra, and her 46 paintings
bring viewers closer to the magic and charm of Jordan's landscape.
Schwedes says that "piercing art with inner feelings is a process
that requires total concentration and truthfulness by the artist
to produce the best product.
She added that men usually look at things from a very shallow
angle. "Man only strives to understand what is obviously visible.
Two abstract paintings called "Eve" show rich red, green and
blue brushstrokes colors of nature, colors of nature, as she
calls them- covering most of the white canvas while leaving
patches of it. Nature, according to Schwedes, "is the womb where
we come from and end." |
