The circular experiment in its eighth edition by the artist Fidaa Mansour in Louay Kayali Gallery

Damascus (ST):  Artist Fidaa Mansour continues his journey with the circular experiment through his solo exhibitionentitled “Kandeels” in Louay Kayali Gallery, presenting a group of works he recently completed within this experiment.

The exhibition, which included 27 large-sized paintings using oil technique, reflected the development of Mansour’s experience interms of composition, calligraphy and harmonious color combination with the diversity of topics and its richness between silent nature and feminine and human situations with several paintings that embodied the atmosphere of the Syrian rural environment.

 Regarding the exhibition, Mansour said in astatement: “I named this exhibition the title of Qandeel because of the diversity of its topics. Each painting illuminates a specific topic in the dark corners of the human soul and expressed my vision of life through it.”

Mansour finds that each new exhibitionwithin the circular experience tends to simplify more at the level of line and composition, with the adoption of shortening in the details resulting from several stages of work on the vocabulary of the painting.

Artist, Fidaa Mansour, was born in the city of Jableh. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus in 1999 and completed his postgraduate studies. He is a teacher at the Institute of Plastic and Applied Arts. He has several solo exhibitions and many participations in group exhibitions inside Syria.
