Modern ceramic art exhibition in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI — A modern ceramic exhibition was opened on Christmas eve at the Cultural Foundation in the capital.

The artist, Fawaz Zamrik, is not new to the art lovers in the UAE, although this time he brings a wonderful new collection of both statuettes and vases.

Although his works may seem quite varied at first sight, Zamrik shows a style consistency, which is both rigorous and passionate, whether it is a moulded ceramic bowl or a sculpted terracotta miniature chair.

One motif that most of the artist’s pieces has in common is the female form. Either as a statuette by itself, or incorporated abstractly on vases, using in-relief methods or thin line drawings, reminding of ancient cave paintings, the female is always presented in a dream-like manner, almost sorrowful. Despite Zamrik’s rigid and robust style, his masked or unmasked ladies never loose their grace.
