KUWAIT: Some 64
Kuwaiti painters and sculptors are showcasing their works amid the
locally-renowned summer cultural festival, praised as the 'most important' on
the arts calendar. Al-Funoon and Ahmad Al-Adwani exhibition halls at the Kuwait
City suburb of Abdullah Al-Salem are hosting a whopping 104 works by artists of
all ages.

Commenting on the
event, National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters chief Kamel Al-Abduljalil
said the annual event is regarded the "most important of its kind on the
domestic arts scene as it sheds light on up and coming talent." One of the
paintings on display, 'Until When' by Abdulrahman Al-Hamili, questions man's
continuing pursuit of war.

A journey into
the calmness of nature is expressed in two works by aspiring artist, Norah
Al-Hajeri. The young artist said she was thankful for the opportunity presented
to her to parade her efforts at the much-celebrated occasion. - KUNA
