Works of seven Emiratis at art exhibition

An exhibition of contemporary arts of seven UAE visual artists opened on Tuesday at the Dubai Community Theatre and Art Centre in the Mall of the Emirates. The exhibition will run until September 2.
The exhibition features the works of seven Emirati artists belonging to three different generations — Hassan Sharif, Hussain Sharif, Mohammed Ahmad Ibrahim, Mohammed Kazem, Abdullah Al Saadi, Ebtissam Abdul Aziz and Nuha Assad.”
“The works on display here break conventions and challenges traditional perceptions of art to create debate and engage the viewer in thoughts, ideas and comments on today’s society. Their works and thoughts ironically denote the daily life and behaviours of present crowded cities and calm mountain areas,” said Abdul Raheem Sharif, an organiser.
In ‘Cardboard and Coir’, veteran artist Hassan Sharif uses cartoon boxes, paper, coloured tissue, glue and ropes to create original shapes. Source
