Syrian artist Sabhan Adam holds his exhibition in Cairo

Under the title  “ Creatures  of Solitude”  the plastic artist Sabhan Adam has recently opened his exhibition at the Egypt Gallery in Cairo,  which  included a collection  of artworks he painted  through different stages of his creative experience since the beginning of the Nineties of the last century until today.

 

The  artworks  recalled Adam’s experience in  Paris, Dubai, Geneva and New York to reach Western museums and galleries that celebrated his artistic production over the past years.

 

Adam is considered one of the most prominent Syrian artists as he renewed contemporary plastic painting through a special and unique method in drawing the man and depicting distortions that affected his physical and psychological structure.

 

He will hold another exhibition entitled “My Kisses to Beirut”  in the Lebanese capital. 

 

The artist said in a statement to SANA: “I hold these two exhibitions in Egypt and Lebanon, and I am still in Damascus, which I did not leave during the years of the unjust war”.

 

“ Later, I will hold another exhibition in the Saudi Arabia which  will include private collections of my artworks that  I painted in the 90s and the beginning and middle of the first decade of the third millennium,” he added.

 

Adam seeks to turn his paintings into scream against  violence, extremism and all inhuman matters.

 

He is considered one of the Syrian artists who achieved a global presence, as his paintings occupied the covers of European and American magazines.

 

 The Syrian poet Adonis described Adam’s artworks in a joint book with Adam published in Paris as “explosion” in the history of Arab and Islamic art.

 

The Syrian  artist , who was born in the city of Hasakah in 1972, was distinguished by an eye-catching future artistic experience, since he painted dozens of paintings a few years ago of distorted human beings  that appear wearing masks on their faces, and their looks manifest terror and fear of nothingness and confronting an existence filled with biological pandemics.

 

 It is not the first time that the artist Adam embodies what will happen to the future of humanity in his works, as he also presented brutal scenes of beheading, which  the world witnessed by the terrorist ISIS organization.

 

The artist , whose paintings are displayed at  the museums of Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Dubai, Cairo and Beirut, continues his exotic formations in his small studio in Damascus and depicting dozens of lonely creatures on his shocking paintings.
