Ayyam Gallery will celebrate its first anniversary on the 11th of November, 2007 with a solo exhibition and official book release, detailing the life and art of one of the Middle East's greatest artists and writers: Asaad Arabi. After half a century of dazzling the Arab World and Europe with his paintings, Asaad's latest inspiration is going back to his roots to repaint and exhibit in the city he loves, Damascus, and to finalize his book that includes 400 pages reciting his artistic life with amazing images of his latest "Damascus" series along with his earlier masterpieces.
