*A mixture of acrylic, metallic paint and sand on canvas gives this piece interest through varied depths of texture.
Part of the Gossipers collection, the artist instilled strong Middle Eastern characteristics, huddled figures holding and reading coffee cups, that seem to conjure up murmurs that fill the air.
Characterized by its interplay of layers, texture, contrasting colors and reflective metallic elements – Ali Shawwa’s artwork infuses them together in search of balance and a relationship between the tangible and the imagined, where the abstract is superimposed and becomes a prominent expressive motif throughout his work.
