Charisma
Safarkhan is pleased to present the trio exhibition, 鈥楥harisma,鈥 featuring resident artist Kinda Adly alongside debutantes Tasneem El Meshad and Khaled Abdo, from September 28th to October 20th. 鈥楥harisma鈥 explores the innately original personal perspective that emanates from each of these artist鈥檚 works. Although each one stands alone in the form, subject and concept of their art, they are unified in their optimism, dynamism, and ultimately their carefree confidence and youthful exuberance to provide a candid window into their expressive souls.
Kinda Adly is a self-taught artist who left a career in marketing to pursue her passion for art. Her paintings are inspired by pop art symbolism and the Japanese super flat concept, a postmodernist movement based on manga and anime. Her love for texture is clear in her painstaking layering technique that combines different patterns with contrasting colors using multiple mediums. Kinda鈥檚 incredibly detailed and intricately worked canvases this time demonstrate a progression from the exclusively pop art style that gained her recognition. There is a notable development in the use of shapes and figures. After studying with esteemed talent Mohamed Abla, the condensation of her composition is not as dense, offering her canvases the added element of more space, which provides a liberating and grounding sensation. Kinda鈥檚 latest works demonstrate a welcome sensation of less rigidity, and the inclusion of even more plant and animal imagery offers these pieces a more grounded, holistic and organic appeal.
