Survival

Anis Tabaraee

Certainly, as soon as we saw the work we knew we had to showcase it here. There is motion, there is serenity, there is depth and a swirl which weaves strands of knowledge together to create the intense and incredible artworks of Anis Tabaree. Vibrant and deep, the forms, the structures compel ones attention. She plucks at historic threads to create beauty and comment, which is altogether timeless. As when, for example, she reference the history of the Qatar dynasty, and more modern issues. All of which makes one want to start to delve deeper and understand more the past of this historical crucible and crossroads, where Anis lives and works. So there is depth and yet even without knowledge the style, the passion, the impact of line and form is mesmerising. Then, sometimes she adds colour, and well…another layer is added, she is often sparing in its use, yet when applied…wow…and that is why already her work sits in some museum collections. Time remains, to collect and enjoy. Take it and savour something a little different but which send one in to a soulful rapture, which tells you why we need art in our lives.
