Zawyeh Gallery is due to host a solo exhibition for Palestinian artist Zohdy Qadry with his latest series, Deconstructing the Shape, running from May 6^th until May 31^st, 2017.

An opening reception will take place on Saturday, May6^th 2017, where artists, art collectors and art enthusiasts are mostly welcome to share with us Qadry’s thought-provoking works.

Deconstructing the Shape pictures the artist’s purely geometrical pieces that have been predominant in Qadry’s work for over a decade, that evolve into large horizontal canvases covered in expressionist formulations that cannot yet abandon the logic of geometry and shapes, which are merged into the former. The shape is being shattered, vanished into the space or the surroundings; it is being broken apart, fading away and disappearing. His work is an abstraction from realism that does not disregard reality, believing that art remains another suggestion of reality.

Qadry brings back in his latest works the idea of the “Non-Subject”, a concept that is biased towards the freedom of art and its absolute commitment to morality in a world that does not control this absent language; testing experimental tools that flow between the abstraction of the body and the rigidness of geometry as a product of power between shapes and colors.

“One of the ideas I propose is to merge the form with horizontal works and with spontaneous lines of expression that form shapes and non-shapes. With the difference of the idea, which remains in the context of the “non-subject”, believing that art remains another suggestion of reality.”
