The second part of the unusual Collection showcases a distinctive set of artworks, also crafted at a picturesque village. However, these pieces diverge from the scenic landscapes of the village (presented in part 1) and instead delve into the subjects that have long haunted Abed Abdi’s artistic pursuits, such as refugees and asylum, war and peace, and other related themes.

What makes this particular collection intriguing is the artist’s innovative use of color with those themes. Abed’s color palette brings a fresh and captivating perspective to these profound and thought-provoking subjects. Despite being far from the original context of these themes, Abed’s surroundings in the village seem to have inspired a new artistic exploration, breathing life into these significant issues with vibrant and expressive hues.

As you journey through this segment of the exhibition, you will witness the artist’s masterful ability to infuse emotion and meaning into his compositions, all the while resonating with the viewer on a profound level. Through his art, Abed Abdi invites us to contemplate the universality of human experiences and the complexities of the world we inhabit. Most of the artworks on display depict poignant scenes of sorrowful figures, tormented by the ravages of war and displacement. The profound expressions captured in vibrant colors compel us to confront the harsh realities of the human condition.

Abed Abdi’s brushstrokes breathe life into these poignant subjects, presenting a vivid and poignant exploration of the universal human experiences affected by conflict and upheaval. Through his artistic vision, Abdi offers a poignant and thought-provoking perspective on the challenges faced by refugees and those seeking asylum, igniting a contemplative dialogue within the viewer’s mind.

As you navigate through this deeply moving collection, Abed Abdi’s artistry will kindle a sense of empathy and compassion for those whose lives have been forever altered by the consequences of war and displacement. The juxtaposition of the serene surroundings of the village with these distressing themes creates a powerful and unforgettable visual contrast.

We invite you to immerse yourself in this thought-provoking exhibition, where art transcends boundaries to shed light on the profound realities that shape our world.
