EMOTIONS WITH MOTIONS was a collective international art exhibition centered around visual storytelling. In this exhibition, we showcased work that drew upon memory and storytelling to visually communicate the personal experiences of 9 artists from different nationalities. The project was conceived and curated by Jesno Jackson, with the collaboration of Picasso Gallery. Within this exhibition, each work captured the essence of emotions with vibrant colors and thoughtful details, which brought to life the beauty of new growth and transformation.
Meet the 9 artists who experienced epiphanies throughout the creative process, and the work they created mirrored their thoughts and emotions as they pertained to be in their own personal journeys.
Clarisse Meneghetti – Brazil, Mohamed F S Awad – Saudi Arabia, Elham Ghorbani Shad – Iran, Ayah Odeh – Jordan / Palestine, Mujeeb Kehar – Pakistan, Mona Hussein Ali – Britain / Sudan, Azin Rezaei – Iran, Lené Pieters – South Africa, and Margarita Ado – Lithuania.
“The pieces I’ve chosen for “Emotions with Motions” immerse us as some of the best narratives do, in the midst of things. We will enter with a kind of jolt and what we witness will have something timeless about it. Like flipping to a page somewhere in the middle of a novel and beginning to read, we might not know what’s going on, but we gladly read on. While selecting work for this exhibit, I was taken aback by the many interpretations of this theme – including the ways in which each artist depicted their own unique revelations.”, says Curator Jesno Jackson. The 30 remarkable art pieces allow you to see your place not only within individual stories but within a collection of interwoven narratives – an abstract taped to a wall, sculptures of infinity, the woman in the middle east, an orientalism with its Arabic beauty, a collection of wildlife, the classical touch of realism, women in expressionism with dynamic movements, sustainable portraits of women and so many more striking visual tales to tell.
