Not just a technique, not just colors, not just shapes and spaces; it's a "vision" in the first place that creates art. A vision that creates this or that distinct and peculiar world in which you step forward to see feel, and realize thing anew. Even if this or that world is created inside the borders of a painting and I made only with two simple clear-cut colors: black and white.
In the "Resident Artist Exhibition", was held in July, at the Conference Center, West Exhibition Hall, Bibliotheca Alexandrina; two worlds have attracted my attention with their same element but nearly opposite visions. Those were the worlds of Tariq Hawas and George Fekry.
I was amazed before Tariq Hawas works: the black prevails, the white existence is very little but surprisingly is dominant, the conflict between black and white is clearly over for white which seems the weaker side. How did Hawas do that? What rules govern hi artistic world? Is it a mature vision that recognizes the world's darkness, evil, and nothingness and still able to believe in future, hope, and the better aspects of life to dominate no matter how lesser they are? Is it the support of shape and suggestions that made the black threatened and even overcome? White is the small plant that offers growth and fruitiness.
White is the lightening that finds it way through blackness subduing it.
White is the base and the roof that besiege the opposite force.
Don't let the spreading existence of the black deceive you; it's a world of hope and light.
On the other hand, George Fekry's painting present a semi- equal ratio of black and white, but the structure that white itself contributes in is a nightmare: broken sad faces and souls, a ghostly prisoner soul of a mare taken in a whirl, a continual conflict between every single bit of Fekry's painting. There is no peace in them.
At last, you find yourself divided between the two worlds: that of the victorious white regardless its small forces, and that in which white assures the force of blackness and darkness.
