Please find here, a VR exhibition set up in aid of real workers on the ground in Gaza.
(Best viewed on your laptop!)
100% of the profits on sales of the prints will be going to this work in Gaza.
From the sales of paintings from this exhibition, and in particular it is our hope that from sales of Limited Edition Prints from the show, profits will be sent to both individual workers on the ground in Gaza and to official programs of aid and food delivery.
This is an exhibition in support of the Palestinian people making a difference on the ground in Gaza, like Peabody award winning journalist Bisan Owda, and dentist Dr. Abdallah H. Abdou.
Bisan is helping to distribute much needed medical and hygiene supplies in Gaza and Dr. Abdallah is rebuilding his dental clinic in Gaza.
Original oil paintings may be beyond some viewers budgets, and as such, I will be making Limited edition prints available of all of these works so that you can have lower price points to engage with.
There will be three sizes of prints available (approx: 15x18" / 22x26" / 32x38") at prices of €200 / €400 / €600.
70% of the proceeds on sales of the original paintings will be sent to Gaza aid projects (chosen by myslef and vetted by trusted sources) and 30% will be kept to cover my marterial costs and time on this initiative.
BUT! 100% of the profits on sales of the prints will be going to this work in Gaza.
(No) Single Point of Resistance, brings together the works of two Palestinian, one Lebanese and one Irish artist.
The “resistance” here speaks to the act of art-making in a time of crisis and suppression. When life is devalued, what price do we place on the value of continued, engaged creative practice?
From Tayseer Barakat’s evocative expressions of painterly solidarity with his fellow Gazans, or Ghassan Abu Laban’s heartfelt poems to Exile, the theme of an obvious resistance to forms of external disruption are clear.
In the large format paintings of Lebanese artist Sara Chaar, the use of cartographic imagery, the impact of borders, displacement, and spatial relationships on individual and collective identity are investigated. The works are a testament to the artist’s commitment to engage with pressing social realities through her work.
Browne’s artistic style, rooted in modernist abstraction, often conveys a subtle yet profound resistance to oppression.These aspects of his work can be interpreted as symbolic acts of reclaiming order, balance, and meaning in a world often dominated by chaos, inequity, and suppression. Embedded in his work is the hope for an integration of mind and body as a form of resistance.
