“We’re excited to be showing off their work,” Suha Lallas, Wadi Finan’s founder and director, said in the statement. “These are incredibly talented artists and Wadi Finan is proud to promote their work.”
The exhibition will include works by a number of artists, including Mohamed Harb, who has worked in fine arts since 1995.

The artist is experienced in different mediums, including video art. Among his works is A Biography of Gaza, which documented a decade of its siege across a number of artworks, according to the statement. His philosophy, however, is to bring color to Gaza’s “grey, ashy reality”.
Another artist, Abdel Nasser Amer, is a resident of Khan Yunis Camp and works with traditional Palestinian styles to depict life in Gaza using surrealistic imagery to capture sentiment in a variety of tones. He has had exhibitions in both the Middle East and Europe.

Sohail Salem uses expressionism — a way of externalizing anxiety — to depict people and still life. He has also produced art installations and worked in sculpture, photography, puppeteering, and graphic design.

Maisara F. Baroud, who is also featured in the exhibition, started by representing literature in art and exploring contradictory nature. His work evolved to explore worldwide suffering in art, especially in Palestine, and he is interested in humanitarian crises, such as war, arrest, and occupation, according to the gallery’s statement.

Ayman Issa’s work has traveled the world. He mixes vibrant colors with curved, distorted human figures — mostly women, a celebration of the feminine form — to make his paintings immediately recognizable to fans.
“The stylistic range of the artists is exciting,” said Lallas. “Each has had a remarkable career, with many more works to come. We are always amazed by the quality of work Palestinian artists put out, and hope to see lovers of art visiting us at Wadi Finan to explore it for themselves.”
The exhibition will run until July 15, from 10am to 7pm.
