Green Art Gallery is pleased to present Metaphors, the first solo show for emerging Syrian photographer Jaber Azmeh, presenting a new series of photographic works.
In this series, the artist has chosen the subject of horses as a form of abstraction, not as a technique but as a concept. Jaber's work is a mixture of lines, space, crop and light, thereby rendering these images as an illusion or dream. Although they may seem as simply photographs of horses, upon further observation it becomes apparent that some may actually depict mountains while others look like sand dunes or even the curves of a woman's body. Hence the name Metaphors since each photographic work can have more than one meaning to the same viewer.
