| ‘It’s Only an Opinion: Global Ratings Agencies Making Millions at the Expenses of Pension Funds & Life Savings’ by Edgy, recently displayed at “the highest art exhibition in the world” at Mt Everest Base Camp |
Locally-based artist, Edgy, has completed the “highest exhibition in the world” after trekking 130km to the Mt Everest Base Camp, where he managed to display a number of his original works in the testing conditions.
After the difficult climb at temperatures reaching as low as minus 5C, Edgy managed to set up his exhibition, which is the second in his four-part series of events to be held at the hottest, highest, coldest and lowest locations possible.
Edgy explained that he chose the site because of its symbolic, iconic nature, and because of it being the highest place in the world.
After hosting the world’s “hottest exhibition” in the desert in Qatar, Edgy has consistently argued that “art is not meant to be easy,” citing this as part of the inspiration for his four-part series.
“For those that make it out, the natural beauty is its own visual extravaganza,” he said.
The exhibition featured 10 abstract and surrealist paintings, inspired by the theme of ‘Success’ and serving as a reflection on struggles and concerns related to the current global economic situation.
“The story for each individual who sees and may feel the art is often different,” said Edgy, adding “I now no longer explain each piece as I learn from those who often see things differently.”
He explained that he instead chooses to wait until after the launches of his work, to discuss in more detail the inspiration and meaning behind the paintings.
“It was a wonderful experience to share the art series in one of nature’s most unique and special environments,” he said, adding “I hope people can find the time to consider the art, in its environmental context, with the social message, as a three-piece puzzle.”
“I am delighted to share a global journey with interested questions seekers across the globe,” he added.
The next installment in the series will be the coldest exhibition in the world, to be held in Siberia, before the lowest, to be shown at the Dead Sea, explained Edgy.
The artist is also working on another global exhibition with Aboriginal elder, Joy Murphy Wandin, called ‘Sticks’ which is scheduled to be released next year.
And he has also recently completed the series entitled ‘The Art of a Tree,’ which was hosted on the Corniche in Doha, once again highlighting Edgy’s commitment to locating his exhibitions in interesting and unusual settings.
