Ghada Al-Zogbi stone in the “Janine Repez Gallery”
Mind reading of shape: color sound and tone
Mansour Huber / Daytime
Stone is a singular and numbers are a plus. The stone is also leaning and is a compulsory entrance into the world of the artist Ghada Al-Zogbi, and it persuades us to mentally read the form, whether we like it or not. And if reading is the one who frees us from the confinement of reading, it is the sound of color and tone. Color, interior blog and a stand for some flips in one work. Color enters in a restless journey, whether it is in the noise of anger, or in the joy of friendship that is strangled by a load of sadness and anxiety. In one aspect of the painting, the color of one neighborhood shines and attracts another. Awake and steady here, no indifference and blockage over there.
The artist realizes that the form is the trap of his eye, and the subject gives birth to cursed repetition, so she does her best not to fall into the pocket by switching to the composition consisting of hidden geometry in the painting. The painting may be divided into three consecutive horizontal rectangles: earth, numbers, and sky, or numbers are scattered across the artwork. Some paintings celebrate the distribution of the rib triangle of stones and works in a strange atmosphere called Surrealism.
The artist gives us artistic achievements that are not overcome by joy and pleasure, nor do we drown in sadness and deep despair. Note that the artist adopts these two dimensions and merges them into one surface. As it is mentioned by thing, visual memory takes us to the sad blue phase of Picasso, followed by the rose phase as it exits to the joy of life.
Ghada Al-Zogbi combines two sides of one painting, which is the tear in a smile, or the joy when sadness is overshadowed. It’s as if the blue phase and the pink phase combine together in an argument and contrast.
We are not going to play the game of Dal and the spoiled, which is the symbolic meaning in Ghada Al-Zogbi’s tales. Needless to say that quarantine is some land and place, it is frozen, engineering construction and debris. One moment! There is a dimension that goes beyond the direct narrative to reach the concept of visual punctuation, which is another satisfactory number that the artist assumes about knowing or not knowing. In works of art, there are “clear indications” consistent in works that progress clearly if we find a “virgin or natural subject”, then only we find passing presence or reveal mysterious images. Here is Venus Weldorf in front of us, a statue of stone the size of a palm, the plaque of a woman in a half-photo and in the background of a distant landscape, it is the achievement of Davinci and the woman is called Mona Lisa. Finding Paul Cezan fields and William de Koning’s gorge. We also come across the stone construction of Lance Connelles, whose faces are erased and positions of two unknown, helmet fighters, naked bodies, warm and cold marble, upright thighs and genitals, and a spell of Salvador Dali.
The mysterious evidence in the achievements of Ghada Al-Zogbi don’t necessarily come in the form of a description. The definition of form remains clear, but the direction of form remains disobedient to grasp it, because, i.e. the mysterious clues, remain indifferent to the story and reality.
