Spanning a cross-section of mediums including mixed media, sculpture, installation, print, and canvas, Athr's exhibiting artists offer insight into the paradox of life in the Middle East, while creating an opportunity for dialogue, discussion and reflection on the harsh realities of the world around us.
Artists represented at this year's contemporary art fair include Ibrahim Abumsmar, Ayman Yossri Daydban, Musaed Al-Hulis, Maha Malluh, Haji Noor Deen Mi Guang Jiang, Raouf Rifai, Nasser Al- Salem, Jowhara Al-Saud, Rashed Al-Shashai, Sami Al-Turki, Saddek Wasil and Shadia Alem.
“As one of Saudi Arabia's leading contemporary art galleries, we are committed to showcasing emerging and established artists who push the boundaries of artistic expression and represent the kaleidoscope of perspectives, view points and realities that reflect the Middle East. There is great room for debate and we are pleased to be able to offer a unique point of view through our consecutive 4th year of participation at Art Dubai,” said Hamza Serafi, co-founder of Athr Gallery.
“There is tremendous regional and international interest in art created in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at present, and Art Dubai provides Athr Gallery's artists with a platform to share points of view which transcend the ordinary. It's an honor for Athr to increase the visibility of some of the most impactful and reflective artists of our generation and we're keen to see how their works evoke new perspectives and emotional responses in Art Dubai's visitors,” commented Mohammed Hafiz, co-founder of Athr Gallery.
Art Dubai visitors can find Athr Gallery in Booth A1 at the Johara Ballroom/the Arena at Madinat Jumeirah.
