Vibha Nanda with her colourful acrylic canvases and ceramic sculptures.
DOHA: Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q) yesterday opened an art exhibition titled “Opus: Abstracted”, featuring works of Doha-based Indian artist Vibha Nanda.
The exhibition presents a collection of colourful acrylic canvases that trace dramatic lines and geometric silhouettes against a backdrop of movement, colour and form. Likewise, her ceramic sculptures are striking glazed abstractions of constructed angles and sweeping curves.
A law graduate and masters in business studies, Vibha started her career teaching postgraduate business courses in Bahrain. She subsequently left teaching to pursue her passion for art, joining the Qatar Youth Arts Center to study ceramics under famous Iraqi ceramicist and sculptor Waleed Qaisi, where she presently continues to work. She attended workshops with artists like Gregory Hamilton Miller and Jerry Fresia to further her techniques in ceramics and painting.
Part of proceeds from art sales will be donated to Reach Out to Asia (Rota). The expo is open for public viewing until February 27 from 3pm to 6pm at the SFS-Q campus.
