Fann A Porter Amman is pleased to present the latest works of celebrated artist Majd Kurdieh. Along canvas and paper works, the exhibition features Kurdieh's latest watercolor on paper.
With his latest series, the artist gives encouragement to persevere with hope in uncertain times.
Majd Kurdieh is a painter whose childlike drawings speak to the soul. His cartoonish like work is a combination of art and literature. The painter lives on the edge of a forest in Lebanon away from civilisation and closer to nature where he dreams up his paintings like an alternative world. He uses cartoon-like characters to talk about the current state of the world. Most of Kurdieh’s works are accompanied by his quotes in Arabic that translates to a positive or powerful messages.
His work revolves around two characters, ‘Fasoon' and ‘Fasooneh', who are always smiling despite the fact that their world is filled with hardships. Fasoon and Fasooneh are joined by a ‘gang' made of other animal characters called the 'Very Scary Butterfly Gang'. Together their main mission is to steal sadness looming over the world with their sole weapon, the flower.
