DUBAI: US artist Grimanesa Amorós, famous as the Light Sculptor, is bringing her work to Riyadh.
The Peruvian-born visual artist will present a grand monumental art installation in the Diplomatic Quarter Cultural Palace at the Noor Riyadh festival from Nov. 3 to 19.
The title of the artwork is yet to be unveiled.
The installation addresses fundamental questions about the impact of a rapidly shifting environment on the mental, psychological and emotional well-being of individuals living in fast-paced, modern societies.
Her light sculpture was previously showcased at the Azkuna Zentroa Center of Society and Contemporary Culture in Bilbao, Spain.
Amorós, famous for her large-scale light sculpture installations, explores human emotions and connections to the social environment using an elemental understanding of the world involving nature’s basic elements: fire, water, earth and light.
The artist has exhibited her work in multiple locations around the world including Mexico, Beijing and New York City.
