Ayyam Gallery
“Shabab Uprising,” Ayyam Gallery Dubai , February 19 to April 19 2009
Drawing a number of emerging talents to the forefront of regional art, “Shabab Uprising” is organized under the umbrella of our Shabab Ayyam Project, an incubator for budding creativity through which we seek to nurture the careers of artists breaking onto the scene.
The exhibition will provide an unprecedented introduction to the new wave of contemporary Syrian art through the work of painters Thaier Helal, Mouteea Murad, Yaser Safi, and Kais Salman, in addition to a stellar lineup of up-and-coming artists.
In Thaier Helal’s abstract paintings we find a collision of forces sprawled onto the canvas. In contrast, the figurative paintings of Kais Salman represent the opposite end of the Syrian art spectrum. Similarly, the enigmatic figures found in Yaser Safi’s paintings exemplify an unconventional yet remarkable approach to depicting the human form.
