Blind Artist Shows Work

The people flocked to see Bahraini artist Nasser Al Yousif's last art exhibition, which opened last night at the Albareh Art Gallery, Adliya. Around 30 limited edition linoleum prints are being showcased at the gallery under the theme More Than Meets the Eye. The accomplished painter lost his sight eight years ago, but continued working on linoleum etchings, a technique that he experimented with in the past. However, due to health complications, he is no longer able to work. The exhibition shows the last of his production, as well as some works produced through 1999-2002.
