Land of the Dark exhibition at Katara
Sudanese artist Noor Al Hadi pours his sentiments and memory of his homeland on canvas in a multitude of colours for his solo exhibition titled “Land of the Dark” which opened at Katara Cultural Village.
The artworks, the artists says, are the “consequence of the memory of his homeland restless inside him, erupting and uniting with my pulse.”
On show are more than 30 paintings in different sizes that depict the rich Sudanese culture and heritage, present the important eras in Sudan’s history, and introduce local costumes of different places in Sudan. The artist uses subtle dark colours but the paintings stand out for the artist’s unique style which combines figuration, abstraction and expressionism.
