Palestinian artists recall Khaled Abu Khaled’s memory in Abu Rummaneh Cultural Centre

Damascus (ST): The late Khaled Abu Khaled was not only a poet and a fighter, but he was an artist whose paintings carried as much meaning and depth as his poems.

Palestinian plastic artists expressed their loyalty to the poet who left our world earlier this year through a group exhibition hosted by the Arab Cultural Center in Abu Rummaneh.

Artist Abdel Muti Abu Zaid, head of the Union of Palestinian Plastic Artists in Syria, explained that the exhibition is an attempt to express loyalty to a fighter who has always resisted by various means and remained a believer in the inevitability of liberation and was present in all fields.

The daughter of the late poet Bisan Abu Khaled expressed her thanks for organizing the event, which confirms that the Palestinian people of all categories celebrate their symbols of resistance, pointing to the beautiful meanings in the participating works that symbolize adherence to the land and struggle and renew the message of the late who, despite his passion for drawing, did not make many exhibitions out of humility, but his experience carried a lot of creativity.

Artist Ali Jarwan participated in two works, the first entitled (The Dream) and the second inspired by Mahmoud Darwish’s poem (We Love Wheat More), where he pointed out that nostalgia and love of the land are the link between his paintings and the message of the artist poet Abu Khaled.
