BEYOND COLOUR
by Fadi Haddadin
11-30 September 2019
Opening Wednesday 11 Sep at 6PM
Fadi Haddadin is from today’s new generation of modern Jordanian Artists. From the fourth generation, with the modernists of previous generations, he contributes to moving the artistic movement in Jordan from objective academic styles, towards true contemporary work of thought and abstraction with his boldness.
Haddadin’s style expresses emotions to the extreme, dissolving the differences between the lines and colors. The form of expression identifies the human feelings and emotions through the gestures of colors. There is nothing shy about Haddadin’s work but there are complex subtleties with the layers and forms that are revealed with engaged observation.
Ammar Khammash says of Haddadin’s work:
“Haddadin hangs free shapes of color in mid space. Each of us look at these paintings and builds up a different space and order, according to some deep primordial visual perception process, possibly from our evolutionary past and survival strategies. These works represent a generative approach to art, where the artist gives works that are tools for us to build up our own results, in our deep visual and awareness conation. Fadi Haddadin stirs some visual/mental instincts we didn’t know that we had.”
The artist himself says of this work
“Imagination, emotion, feelings, energy forms, circles, lines and voids, always a white color full of endless possibilities, from here the remote thing starts appearing from the inside, it starts to appear by taking over a color space to impose itself on the white, followed by another to become an incomplete form, when its complete and the shapes begin to appear perhaps its people, faces….. Then quickly fades away, as the color movement continues within the work until the colour controls the shape and imposes its dominance by canceling all elements of the image, and begins to appear as colours, curves, blocks, shapes, lines and layers of colours.”
