"Under the Rubble" is the title of the exhibition where Thaer Hilal, his experience with color and multimedia, completes the unveiling of a new chapter of his works at the recently opened exhibition in the days of a gallery in Dubai, In the chromatic form, with the surfaces filled with materials. Through his latest works, Hilal embodies the rubble and ruin, and paints the distance between life and death. He seeks to highlight the pain and pain that has afflicted his native Syria, but with his hope and a beautiful white beginning. The development of the features of the abstract experience is the most noticeable in the works of Hilal, which we find that bears a lot of roughness and hardness, due to the cohesive solid layers that appear to be very cruel, as if we were in front of the rocky surfaces of formation. The artist seeks through his works to reflect the tragic changes taking place in his country of Syria. He raises the dialectical questions about existence and its meaning, and the state of pain that drains people and wastes their lives. The roughness we find in the works is part of the roughness of fate, the hardness and cruelty of destiny, it is roughness, sometimes colored, as if these colors are life with all its experiences.
Business ranged between hope and pain, using a crescent of white, black and gray, and we find earthy colors in a range of works as well. And paints through the colors of two opposite situations, the white, which controls the collection of paintings, leads us to a state of calm and peace of the interior, while the black and gray spread on another panel completely contradictory feelings, pain and suffering. This pain, which is reflected in the colors, is also confirmed by the surface of the painting. The works seem to reflect a state of ruin and destruction.
All this artistic work, and the special visual vision that characterized Hilal's work in his previous exhibitions, reflect his relationship with nature. He works to re-represent the physical processes, to rock formations, as if he embodied in our work the meanings of harmony and harmony and anchored in visual memory. Light and shadow work, but in a special way the light appears to be made up of the mystery of debris.
"The materials I have used in these works are the same as they used to occupy the color spaces," he told Emirates Today. "I mix the paper with the colors in a paste that gives me such high density to exaggerate, I love her and I think she is doing the job I look forward to. " He pointed out that the basic material, which is the paper used in this rough form, represents transparency and softness, it is a nice material, but despite all the negative meanings that may appear in the painting, but it carries positive, explaining that it takes him to a sensitive world. As for the pain that dominates the work, he noted that as an artist, he is not isolated from the outside world and what is happening in his country. All his work is continuous attempts to say something, to express what is happening among people and to be influenced by it. The hope in business is embodied in many ways, including transparency and color, all of which indicate that we are alive. As for his abstract style, which develops from one exhibition to the next, maintaining the same visual form, Hilal saw that the passion for artistic work, talent, attention and high concentration all contribute to making the painting constantly evolving while preserving its features. honest.
