Mehadji
A subjective view of the Dome
Darat al Funun is hosting an art
exhibition from 13th May to 12th June, on
the theme of the "dome" by the Paris-based
Moroccan artist Najia Mehadji.
Mehadji's painting technique is simple,yet
full of nuances.She first leaves prints on
the canvas from a white-painted sheet by
large arm gestures and then glues the
collages previously painted in black.The
glue is colored and the stains left by the
pressure of the hand on the canvas are not
removed,but blurred with
fingers.
