9 May – 30 June 2022
Featuring works by:
Mohammad Jaloos (Jordan)
Qassim Alsaedy (Iraq / The Netherlands)
Salman Al Malek (Qatar)
Through this group exhibition, Linking Distances, three master artists from different backgrounds came together to collaborate on a unified exhibition that embodies a yearning for harmony and celebrates a unique aesthetic.
This exhibition will tour the three home countries of the artists; Qatar, Jordan, and the Netherlands.
The artists, Salman Al-Malek (Qatar), Mohammad Jaloos (Jordan), and Qassim Alsaedy (Iraq/The Netherlands), combined their creative voices as a way of taking care of each other during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The trio worked together to nurture the dream of a future in which people could come together again and engage in the unique experience that art provides.
Art has the power to move minds and spirits, and express alternative viewpoints. Viewers don’t need to share a spoken language in order to engage and enjoy art; they only need the capacity to open their minds and senses to what artists communicate. Color and texture can release a multitude of emotions and bring new understandings to everyday experiences.
Artists are the communicators, the shamans, and empathic purveyors of an experience that sometimes borders on the spiritual. There is no better way to touch people on an emotional level than through art directly..
