“Genesis”, is the latest exhibition of paintings by Yasser Nabaiel, currently on display at Liwan gallery. The Switzerland-based artist is beginning the year with “Genesis” exhibition which portrays a profound rejuvenation of the human world from his perspective. With his capacity to envision the start of the world and humankind, Nabaiel easily moves us into his own mental perceptions through the various phases of a real existence development utilising a multidimensional space where an assortment of contemplations and thoughts exist all together. In this exhibition, the artist delineates another subjective point of view through mastery of method. Nabaiel says of this work, “At this stage, looking at the sky was more beneficial. From a distance, the cities seemed very small as well as the events taking place. So this exhibition came as an imagination and visualization of the invisible or known. The ancients were more free to imagine. So the decision was to adopt and reformulate the events of the beginning, and also what we will reach in a purely personal reading.”
