Doha: Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage H E Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al Kuwari yesterday attended the opening of ‘Athar ... Traces’ expo organised by Qatari artist Ali Hassan at Anima Gallery at the Pearl-Qatar.
The two-month expo combines classical techniques of calligraphy and abstraction in a contemporary interpretation. The gallery collaborated with Hassan to transcend his ‘Desert Horses’ series into sculptural forms.
The composition leaps out of the canvas into space, forming an intricate dialogue with the concept of scale, dimension and trace. Each sculptural element produced by the gallery is an edition of 6, in different sizes and mediums — bronze, corten and aluminium. QNA
