‘Kamal al-Fann’ virtual exhibition focuses on resistance via caricature art
The ‘Kamal al-Fann,’ exhibition, featuring 120 pieces of cartoons and caricatures of Yemeni artist Kamal Sharaf, focusing on the theme of resistance, went virtual at the Negarestan gallery. The exhibition, which was initially displayed at the Aali Art Gallery of Iran’s Art Bureau on January 7, is now available online for art enthusiasts as of January 20.
Sharaf elaborated on his perspective on caricature as a form of resistance, affirming his commitment to using caricature as a tool for resistance. “Caricature is a language understood by all artists globally, regardless of the language they speak,” he concluded.
“Negarestan is an online platform offering virtual gallery tours, aiming to increase art exposure by utilizing the attractions of this medium and eliminating the limitations of physical exhibitions,” said the director of Negarestan.
Virtual galleries are designed and modeled in two categories: Realistic simulations based on existing physical exhibitions and conceptual simulations, which are based on the creativity and ideation of the Negarestan design team”.
