Accomplished artist Fereshte Shishine has studied with various masters and has a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Tehran. As a youngster, she enjoyed detailed work and, in particular, the poetry and intricacy of Persian miniatures. She later developed her skills in still-life, portrait, landscape and etching. Her paintings are easily recognised by her deep appreciation for colour composition, sharp focus on light and her unique attention to particular details. A common characteristic of most of her pieces is the accidental presence of draperies and delicately knitted fabrics somewhere on the canvas. The exhibit opens on February 1 at 6pm, followed by dinner and a live jazz performance by Groove Souq at 8pm, priced at BD30+. Call 17 230-123. In a bid to tackle an issue affecting many schoolchildren, the Bahraini Youth Forum Society (BYFS) is bringing the anti-bullying issue to light with its fourth ‘Naseem Initiative’ project titled ‘When You Hurt’. The group will highlight the subject by conducting a study as well as art and awareness campaigns over the coming months. There will be roadshows and awareness corners at selected schools, including provision of creative awareness materials that can be easily communicated to young people and used as a reference by them later on. This will also include an art competition where students will be create a painting about bullying, and there will be an award for best artwork. Separate awareness sessions for parents will be organised as well. byfs.org/ La Fontaine Centre of Contemporary Art HAPPENINGS this month Major Expo Returns!, p20 Bahrain In Bloom, p28 Carnival Time, p34 Dream On, p18 View more info online
