The Diviner’s Eyes: A Visual Art Collection by Muneer Bahauddeen
Exhibition | Now – March 31
Muneer Bahauddeen’s artwork represents the Spiritual/Visual Relationship between the Yoruba People of Nigeria, the Norse Vikings of Sweden, the Akan People of Ghana and the Mayan Culture of Mexico. The Artist’s intention is to illustrate that the meanings of symbols have cross-culture similarities. This collection, consisting of ceramics, lithographs and mixed-media pieces, was inspired by symbols that speak of a higher conscience, spiritual breakthroughs, ancestral relationships, humankind, love, destiny and fulfillment. Muneer Bahauddeen, a nationally recognized Ceramicist, Muralist and Visual Artist, has been an active member of the Milwaukee art scene for more than 40 years.
