Art Pantheon presents a series of work by the eclectic MrWaduud. “Military Zone: Keep Off” is a solo exhibition charged at the human spirit as we resist the societal pressures that attempt to confine our curiosities and passion. 

This exhibition delves into MrWaduud’s exploration of the military phrase and their camouflage colours as a metaphor for the barriers or restrictions imposed by external forces that inhibit
individuals from exploring their curiosity or pursuing their passion. The phrase "Military Zone, Keep Off" carries a psychological effect that invokes a sense of authority and seriousness, which lead people to perceive the area as off-limits or to be approached with caution and despite this warning, some individuals may feel intrigued or curious about what lies beyond the designated military zone, sparking a desire for exploration or discovery. This is the burden of what's on the other side of curiosity, the possibilities
unexplored, in life, and the chaos of career.

The show takes on four paradigms: An Invitation to the Self, Stories Inside Me, Depth, and Acceptance, with the paradoxical intersection of these realms reflected in the show's setup.As individuals, we often navigate the labyrinth of our identities, striving to reconcile the authenticity of our existence with the expectations placed on us by the world around us.

As an artist, Abdulwaduud's fundamental purpose is to evoke emotion through his paintings. He employs distorted lettering in his abstracts and interruptions in his portraiture because art should not only be visually striking but also thought provoking.

The intentional use of vibrant colors in his works stem from the conviction that color possesses the power to elicit emotion and stimulate the senses. He leverages color to breathe life into his pieces, creating an atmosphere that is both captivating and up-lifting.

His artistic journey is one of continual exploration and discovery. The incorporation of lettering on his minimalist abstract pieces is not merely an artistic choice, but a deliberate tool to invite his audience into interpretation, a composition of which allows for multiple narratives to emerge, with each viewer bringing their own experiences and perspectives to the piece.
