Experience an Artistic Journey: Bridging Realities Exhibition
Join us from April 13 to May 10, 2024, for the captivating showcase of the works of Iqi Qoror and Mohamad Khayata in the Bridging Realities exhibition. Opening on Saturday, April 13 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, this curated event transcends traditional boundaries and invites you to engage in a transformative dialogue with the artists’ creations.
Iqi Qoror, an Indonesian artist, explores themes of identity and human connection through his unique fusion of painting and embroidery. With a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Qoror’s multimedia creations reflect his personal social experiences and push artistic boundaries with experimental installations and mixed media paintings.
His international profile continues to grow as he exhibits in art hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles, attracting an expanding collector base. Qoror’s versatile approach and unique perspective have earned him recognition as a rising star in the Indonesian art scene.
Mohamad Khayata, on the other hand, draws inspiration from his ten years of displacement and explores themes of migration, memory, and identity in his poignant works. Forced to flee Syria due to political conflict, Khayata’s monochromatic portraits of women in domestic settings reflect effort, hope, and serene melancholy.
His art serves as a tribute to displaced people, with his documentary photography series “Stitching My Syria Back” showcasing his journey and personal history with his mother through the symbol of madeh, a homemade patchwork quilt. Exhibited internationally, Khayata’s works foster a deeper connection between art and the public, emphasizing empowerment and unity.
With a BA in Fine Arts from Damascus University, Khayata’s distinctive style and original approach have captivated audiences across Europe and the Middle East, leading to sold-out exhibitions and solidifying his position as a sought-after artist in the global art scene.
Step into the vibrant space of Bridging Realities, where the lines between artist and observer blur, and embark on a journey that transcends traditional exhibition norms. Engage in a dynamic platform for interactive exchange and discover the shared complexities of our human experience through the profound artistic expressions of Iqi Qoror and Mohamad Khayata.
