“Threads of Light” by Hanoos 

From October 29, 2014 until February 20, 2015
CóRDOBA
Casa Árabe headquarters (c/ Samuel de los Santos Gener, 9). Free entry until capacity is reached

Casa Árabe is exhibiting the most recent works by this Iraqi artist at its headquarters in Cordoba. 

The artist surprises us with his colorful canvases inspired by the verses of Iraqi poet Abdal-Wahab al-Bayati, a great figure in contemporary Arab poetry to whom Hanoos dedicates this exhibition.

In this series, of which 18 canvases are being displayed, the artist gives form to childhood memories in his native land, creating a harmonic dialogue with images from his later personal experiences. Pets, feminine figures and characters wearing traditional Iraqi clothing mixed together, overlapping in a single pictorial/narrative time and space, in a visual interplay between form and color.  

Hanoos studied Fine Arts in Iraq and completed his training in Europe, becoming interested in Plato, Aristotle and Arab philosophers, such as the mystic Ibn Arabi, and other contemporary thinkers, who helped him  produce an aesthetic discourse that is very rich in nuances and of great intellectual stature.
