Ahram Online, Sunday 22 Apr 2012

On 19 April Leytonstone's Stone Space gallery opened an exhibition titled 'Defiance' by five Palestinian artists from Gaza. The exhibition will run until 5 May

Defiance

The exhibition presents work which "illustrates the determination of five artists to overcome the environment in which they work while simultaneously being inspired and challenged by it," read the official press release.

Five artists displaying their works are emerging talents from Gaza, Palestine, each telling his own story through artistic media.

Using vivid colors and a variety of symbols, "the artists’ power is evident as they transform ugliness and despair into beauty and light as the mundane forms of concrete, satellite dishes, asbestos roofs and washing lines are presented to us."
