“The Turbulent Land” a solo exhibition of painting by Egyptian artist Ahmed Sabry. The exhibition presents acrylic on wood and acrylic on canvas works depicting a hazy, pale gray world where details barely emerge. Bodies hang in awkward, suspended poses, straining forward yet held back. Empty eyes, frozen emotions. Figures sometimes become caricatures, but they do not provoke laughter. The series follows villagers whose ground vanished beneath them, leaving them stranded in a fight for survival and endurance (28 June - 30 July, the gallery is closed in August).
