Rashid Al Khalifa, a well-known and very respected Bahraini artist who is famous for his impressionist pieces of the Kingdom’s landscapes will be exhibiting his works at the ‘Forever is Now’ exhibition at the Pyramids of Giza.
Recognised as the foremost patron of the arts in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Rashid Al Khalifa was named honorary president of the Bahrain Arts Society when it was established in 1983. He currently holds the position of chairman of the National Council for Arts in Bahrain.
The artist’s piece he will be showcasing at #ForeverisNowIII, Reality is Timeless, plays on the concept of time and discovery influenced by ancient mythology. Al Khalifa creates fragments of a labyrinth, relics that emerge from the ground, tilted at varying angles. Each fragment exhibits different motifs adopted from the diagram of the Egyptian labyrinth presented by the 17th-century Jesuit scholar Anthanasius Kircher in his book Turris Babel (1679).
The exhibition, which aims to promote Egypt’s rich art scene, will be held from 26 October to 18 November, 2023, at the Pyramids Plateau in Giza – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
