It would not be wrong to say that there is an ongoing exhibition in Dubai with a range of concepts and artworks waiting to be explored and inspired. Whether you’re portraiture, calligraphy or landscape, you’ll find a space to showcase what you love.
An ode to our founding fathers and Arabic calligraphy
Qasr Al Watan has launched an exhibition of Arabic calligraphy in memory of the late UAE Founding Father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Titled Zayed’s Love, it was organised in partnership with the UAE Association of Arabic Calligraphy and Islamic Decoration. Visitors can immerse themselves in a journey through the most meaningful quotes, poems and words of the Founding Fathers through 41 artworks created by Emirati artists designed to harness the extraordinary art of Arabic calligraphy.
Until 27 July, Qasr Al Watan Assembly Hall, Abu Dhabi
From Korea to Dubai
Nakheel Mall has opened a one-of-a-kind K-art gallery in partnership with Springs 15, the organisation that manages events and programmes in Asia in the UAE. The month-long exhibition will feature masterpieces by two world-renowned artists, Son Jin Hyung and Kim Jong Sook. Visitors to Nakheel Mall and The View can visit the interactive galleries for free. Art lovers can look forward to Sook’s captivating collection of sparkling landscapes, contrasting the age-old tradition of Korean landscape painting with the urban luxury of 21st century consumer culture. The landscape begins with a traditional acrylic painting and is then embroidered with jewels such as crystals, pearls and opals. Hyoung’s series of works delve into the continuous explosion of positive energy and power through the continuous leap of life and spontaneous movement.
Until 22 July, The Crystal Dome (East), Nakheel Mall, Palm Jumeirah
