The tree: Faithful guardian and custodian. Art by Nehad Abdulkader
June 17 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Experience his incredible large scale paintings and immerse yourself in the forest of memory and spirit. These organic forms are not botanical studies, but rather charged presences, visual metaphors that oscillate between femininity, fertility, and communal resilience. Through this visual poetics, Nehad asserts the necessity of returning to the primal—a sensory and symbolic reconnection to the world that once embraced us, and might again, if we choose to listen.
