Bristol’s contemporary art gallery That Art has collaborated with Dubai’s Ayyam Gallery to showcase six works by Arab artists in the Mall of the Emirates.
A 2011 work by Palestinian artist Oussama Diab in 2011, who explores the endurance of man amid the power struggles of good and evil. Diab, who lives and works in Beirut, also created “Wedding” in 2011. With each series he adopts a different painting style, reflecting the impermanent nature of art.
Sharjah-based artist Mouteea Murad’s work unifies spirituality and formalism, drawing influence from the geometric forms and motifs of Islamic art. In Murad’s compositions, including “Trial No. 120 2015,” the artist builds on the breakthroughs of previous movements, experimenting with automatic brushwork.
