"Dans certains états de l'âme presque surnaturels,

la profondeur de la vie se révèle presque tout entière dans le spectacle,

si ordinaire qu'il soit, qu'on a sous les yeux.

Il en devient le symbole."

Charles Baudelaire (Journaux intimes)

Visual Art Centre shows works of seven artists

Seven artists from various countries including the US, France, Qatar, Finland, Jordan and Lebanon will showcase their works at the “Outreach” exhibition, currently on show at the Visual Art Centre Exhibition Hall in Doha. The 10-day art expo, organized by the Visual Art Centre, aims at using various creative techniques in visual art in communicating concepts to the public, English daily (The Peninsula) reported Tuesday.

Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani has officially opened Outreach, a ten-day art exhibition showcasing works by internationally renowned artists.

French painter Alain Gestin’s very contemporary paintings are characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic movement. “My paintings are a combination of colors and movement. I paint based on a particular sensation and idea which turns out to be a powerful symbol on canvas,” Gestin explained adding, his works are influenced by his travels to the Middle East. “I am currently working on the theme ‘mother and child’ which was inspired by my trip to Syria,” he said.

The exhibition also focuses on unique and colorful ceramic artworks by Qatari artist Asia Al Qahtani. Other works featured are innovative paintings Aaron Reed’s ‘Accumulation’ series, by Finnish Johanna Oras, paintings by seasoned Jordanian painter Mohanna Durra, photomontage by Finnish Riita Nelimarkka, and photography by Lebanese Wadad Said Hashisho.
