From 21 October to 12 December, Ayyam Gallery, Dubai (DIFC) is pleased to present A Date with Spring, an exhibition of new paintings by Syrian artist Mouteea Murad, which sees the artist merging architectural forms with rich colour.
Murad’s paintings are composed of ambient strips of colour, marking a departure from the rigid geometric structures of earlier work. The artist describes this stylistic shift as a visual antidote to the political upheaval in the Arab world. While previous works were defined by a strict mathematical approach, Murad’s new paintings are characterised by a looser, more fluid abstraction.
