ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Limited edition print 26 of 50. This piece fixes a young mohajaba girl riding a bike. The text within the piece is a quote taken from the film called “Wadjda”. The film is directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour. It is the first feature length film made by a female Saudi director. Wadjda is a 10-year-old girl living in a suburb of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. She dreams of a bike, she wants the bicycle desperately. But Wadjda’s mother won’t allow it, fearing repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl’s virtue. The quote is taken from scene 79 “Girls around here don’t ride bicycles, if you ride a bicycle you won’t get pregnant to get children” This work was commissioned by the department of the state in Bahrain. And it was presented to the US embassy of Bahrain at the opening of “Eternity for Now” at Al-Riwaq art space. إن هذا العمل يصور فتاة تركب الدراجة. النص في هذه القطعة مأخوذ من فيلم اسمه “وجدة”. من إخراج هيفا المنصور. وهو أول فيلم طويل من اخراج مخرجة سعودية. وجدة فتاة عمرها 10 سنوات تعيش في ضواحي الرياض عاصمة السعودية. وهي تحلم بدراجة وتريدها بشدة. ولكن أم وجدة لاتسمح لها خوفا من عواقب المجتمع الذي يرى الدراجة كخطر على نقاء الفتاة. الاقتباس مأخوذ من المشهد 79 “البنات في ها الديرة مايركبون سياكل. اذا ركبتي سيكل ماراح تحملين وتجبين عيال.” تم رعاية هذا العمل من قبل قسم الولاية في البحرين. وتم تقديمه للسفارة الأمريكية في البحرين في افتتاح “الخلود المؤقت” في مساحة الرواق للفن

Everitte Barbee
Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
