Mohsen Ghareeb: Poor acquisition and popularity frustrate Bahraini artist

<p><strong>Friday 2019/06/28 - Al Arab&nbsp;</strong></p><p>The Arabic calligraphy had the greatest share of the experience of The Bahraini artist Mohsen Ghareeb , who was very passionate about it, which was reflected in his entirety, his personal exhibitions, his local and international participations, and his workshops in Bahrain and the GCC, he can observe the specificity of this manifestation of the character.</p><p><strong>Manama</strong> &ndash; Bahraini artist Mohsen Ghareeb was 14 years old when he began his interest in Arabic calligraphy, at which time he had difficulty learning because of the lack of teachers or social media sites as it is now, the decision to attend the School of Arabic Calligraphy by the famous calligrapher Abdul Ilah Al Arab, where he studied for 6 months, and the beginnings of the experiment came from the school of letters, then drawing and sculpture at the Bahrain Society of Contemporary Art.</p><p><strong>A legacy of thought</strong></p><p>Mohsen Ghareeb excelled in achieving artistic transitions during the course of his experience, after the calligraphy clashed with several art schools, including painting, sculpture, letters and conceptual art, where he participated in many collective exhibitions in &quot;synthetic art&quot;, and according to the nature of the visions and ideas on which his work is based, he focused a lot on the human issues and events that pass him and on the local and international scene, and also focused on the moral and spiritual aspects that transcend man and his aesthetic qualities.</p><p>&quot;At first I was impressed by the work of the great Bahraini artist Ibrahim Boussed, where he had a beautiful experience in the letters, but soon I tried to get out of my influence and achieve my style, and in sculpture I loved the works of Michelangelo and Henry Moore sculptures,&quot; Ghareeb&nbsp;said in haditha.</p><p>He pointed out that there is a qualitative shift of the Arabic calligraphy and its employment from the aesthetic aspect and its introduction in plastic art, architecture and decoration and adapting it with modern and different materials, so that it became part of the life of people, whether in homes, complexes or the street, as the Arabic calligraphy imposed itself among the rest of the visual arts to be a legacy intellectually, no matter what the generations have to say directly to the Qur&#39;an and hadith, and the prophet&#39;s hadith in the first place, and thought, art and language, secondly.</p><p>&quot;Through my continuous work in recent years, I have received many invitations to set up art workshops outside Bahrain, and since 2014, I have held approximately 57 art workshops across the Gulf and some Arab countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and others foreign such as India,&quot; he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A total of 540 participants participated in these workshops, and over the past years, a representative of my country Bahrain has participated dozens of times in international forums, held 7 personal exhibitions in 5 years and produced two artistic bags to teach in my style in the school of letters.&quot;</p><p>&quot;There are works for me based on the Bahraini man, such as the ignorant Bahraini poet Tafa bin al-Abd and some landmarks in Bahrain and the Palm, as well as the natural features, as well as urban development, where I believe that one of the artist&#39;s responsibilities is the documentary aspect of a period of time,&quot; Ghareeb said.</p><p>&quot;The Bahraini man has ambition like other peoples in the region, and he also has obstacles that prevent him from his daily wishes and worries, which he lives in the shadow of the real quest for a good life, and the artist as an individual and a part of society familiar with all these matters, he seeks sometimes to raise these issues in another time that gives positive energy in his works and theses as a kind of moral and psychological support,&quot; Ghareeb said.</p><p>&quot;The Bahraini man is persistent and struggling and always strives to build his future, and may often be preoccupied with the plastic and cultural aspect in general, which is reflected in his lack of presence in artistic forums, so you find the Bahraini artist seeking to hold his exhibitions outside the country after presenting his experience in his country,&quot; he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br />
	<strong>Queen of Cash</strong></p><p>&quot;It is no secret that there are any growing issues in the region and rapidly, and these rapid events that are ravaging the region on the one hand and the circumstances that the artist himself is experiencing because of those issues on the other, make the artist look like he is outside this circle, but in fact inside, there are artists who live the event day by day and present their vision as a cartoonist, for example, and there are artists who are keen to bring those issues to their work, but all According to his artistic style.&quot;</p><p>He pointed out that Bahrain has a huge number of artists and intellectuals achieved in relation to a country with a population of not more than one and a half million people, and there are many art exhibitions held both individually and collectively, often by personal efforts far from supporting the competent institutions in this field.</p><p>&quot;Unfortunately, we lack a culture of acquisition and public attendance at art exhibitions and forums, which is causing frustration among many artists,&quot; he said. According to the Bahraini artist, the solutions lie in media support for institutions and making the visit to art exhibitions part of the state&#39;s educational program.</p><p>Whether for schools or universities and their staff, with an annual budget to support artists and the state&#39;s desire for its institutions and investment companies in Bahrain in the acquisition of works and annually allocate a group of hard-working and distinguished artists for the artistic parting.</p><p>Mohsen Ghareeb&nbsp;lamented the absence of a monetary movement in keeping with the Bahraini fine art movement, saying, &quot;There are beautiful pens written about the artistic movement from some artists, but they are not criticism, they are not critics, so I do not see the existence of this movement for a long time, so I hope to establish an educational art institution that offers development courses in this field of art and criticism.&quot;</p>
