JORDANIAN ARTISTS EXHIBIT IN
BAHRAIN FOR NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS
Titled '3 Dimensions, 3 Jordanian Artists' the exhibition of 35
paintings, photographs and drawings are included in the Embassy of The
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's celebrations of their National Day and the
10th Anniversary of HM King Abdullah's II ascension to the throne.
Ammar Khammash's richly textured oils share his sense of belonging to,
and respect for the landscape of Jordan. A single broad brushstroke can
represent an entire mountain with all its geological history, in colours
that emerge from the ground itself. Bader Mahasneh uses layers of ink to
breathe life into mysterious and sometimes faceless figures, showing the
depth and complexity of the human state through his technique. Tariq
Dajani's exquisite portraits of the pure bred Arabian horse pay tribute
to this creature of unparalleled magnificence and spirit.
The exhibition took place at The Bahrain National Museum, on 31 May and
1 June 2009.
The exhibition was curated and arranged by Jacaranda Images, Amman
Jordan.
Jacaranda Images is a fine art print gallery dedicated to showcasing
original art prints and works on paper as well as arranging group and
solo exhibitions.
