Amel Bashier: ورد الجوري ‘Ward el Juri’Addis Fine Art, London
Addis Fine Art presents Amel Bashier’s solo exhibition ورد الجوري ‘Ward el Juri,’ named for her daughter and translating to ‘damask rose.’ The exhibition features new paintings and recent works on paper.
Amel’s works are reflections on the nature and possibilities of freedom. She paints towards the liberation of women, symbolically connecting this emancipation with the growth and persistence of the natural world. The women in her paintings, semi-mythical images of bravery and power, stare boldly back at their viewer. The flowers, leaves, and twisting stems represent the vital force within us, and the promise of flourishing blossoms when adequately nourished and nurtured. Sometimes these natural elements come from memories or stories, which interweave her personal relationships into the narratives of the works.
