Description:
Montreal, the city of galleries, will be receiving for 20 days, "The desert is not silent" - the itinerant gallery of Libyan arts, devoted to the Roman and Greek archeological heritage and Libyan painters. The Artist, deliberately or not, works under the influence of his environment. By the time Libya is known as “the land of the desert”, desert is part of Libyan culture and identity. As people usually consider the desert as the land of solitude, deep and intense silence, Libyan artists, closed to the desert, living with the desert, would like to call anyone to forget about the usual notion of the desert, known as empty and silent expanse. In reality, the desert is not an inert world. The desert is peopled and filled with stories. The desert can only be silent for those who do not know how to hear its murmuring, in the same way that painting is mute for those who do not know how to see it. The desert, “the land of Twaregs” cannot be silent. “THE DESERT IS NOT SILENT” "The desert is not silent" gives the unique chance to discover the richness of the Libyan antiquities, and the sumptuousness of Libyan fine art, including: - 39 canvases painted by Engineer Saif El-Islam Gaddafi, - 6 canvases painted by Fawzi Omar Swei - 6 canvases painted by Salah Shagroun
