A Special Exhibit Dedicated to Peace, Love & Harmony
Wednesday, November 16th at 5PM
The
exhibit runs through December 13th
East & West is
an art exhibit dedicated to peace, love and harmony
It showcase the
artwork of Demouzy Contemporary represented visual artists.
Their paintings
and sculptures is a reflection of the relationship between
them and the world that influence them, we are often
influenced by social and economic circumstances and
political atmospheres. However artists always find a way to
convey a visual massage of beauty in the mists of a
conflicting and an ever changing world.
The featured
artworks addresses the subjects of diversity and the
importance of living in a peaceful and harmonious world.
This exhibition at its heart is a powerful means to voice
out what we hold so dear to our hearts and the importance of
living in a loving, tolerant world.
Several
favorite artists inspired this exhibition, to name a few;
Pablo Picasso once said “The artist is a receptacle for
emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky,
from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape,
from a spider web.” and
Marc Chagall
thought on art “Art must be an expression of love or it is
nothing.” As for the Ankh special exhibition it was inspired
by the words of contemporary sculptor, Henry Moore who once
said “To be an artist is to believe in life.” In search of
artworks that fits into this the East & West art exhibition
concept, I decided to include 26 Ankh sculptures created by
premier international artists, who used a three dimensional
fiberglass canvas in the form of Ankh form to convey a
contemporary message of hope for a harmonious, peaceful,
loving and tolerant world.
The Ankh is a
globally recognized ancient Egyptian holographic symbol that
means “Life” known also as (Key Of Life) it symbolizes
peace and harmony.
The form of the
Ankh Sculpture was designed and created by Dr. Reda Abdel
Rrahman, a premier Egyptian born artists now based in New
York. He was directly involved in selecting the artists
featured in this exhibition These sculptures were formerly
part of an international touring art exhibition organized by
Caravan Art where Dr. Reda Abdel Rahman was a a co –
curator/ artist, working on distributing the Ankh form and
bringing the artists together on this meaningful
collaboration.
Dr. Reda Abdel
Rahman is well known for curating international public art
projects and exhibitions that focus on bringing together
artists from around the world on collaborations and special
projects. Some of his projects were on tour in Paris,
London, Cairo and now in New York.
Demouzy
Contemporary is pleased to have Dr. Reda Abdel Rahman on
board as an art consultant , advisor, educator and curator
of special art projects.
The Ankh
sculpture project will continue to grow as more artists are
invited to participate.
All the
artworks featured in East & West art exhibit is available
