KUWAIT, Aug 23 (KUNA) -- Rasem El-Basma, a caricature gallery that opened at Muse Lounge, Symphony Mall, on Wednesday, features 21 cartoons by 20 artists from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states as a tribute to Kuwait's great artist Abdulhussain Abdulredha.
The three-day event is the fruit of cooperation among a number of cartoonists in the region and the cultural seminars forum.
The cartoons on display shed light on the various stages of Abdulredha's artistic life over 55 years, Abdullah Al-Falah, director of Muse Lounge Bookstore and Cafe, told KUNA.
The gallery is a token of appreciation for Abdulredha's rich contributions to artistic movement in Kuwait and the Gulf region at large, he pointed out.
Abdulsalam Maqboul, a Kuwaiti cartoonist, said the works on display reflect the creativity of the participating artists and their loyalty to the late artist.
Abdulredha, a hugely popular actor, director, playwright and producer passed away in London on August 11 at the age of 67. (end) shd.fs.gb
