METAMORPHOSIS IV 1997

"METAMORPHOSIS IV" (1997) by Rashid Al Khalifa, a prominent Bahraini artist, is a bold expression of abstract form and color. The painting's vibrant, almost chaotic composition features swirling, fragmented figures, rendered in a layered, textured style reminiscent of expressionism. Bold strokes of color, ranging from the vibrant blue of the background to the rich golds and browns of the figures, contribute to the work's dynamic and energetic feel. The fragmented figures and the use of bold, almost jarring colors suggest a sense of flux and transformation, echoing the title "METAMORPHOSIS".
