Kutubna Cultural Center presents 'Abstract Art Exhibition' – A Collective Exploration of Form, Color, and Emotion
Dubai, UAE: With its Abstract Art Exhibition, Kutubna Cultural Center invites viewers to explore abstract art as a language of emotion, memory, and form.
Featuring over 25 works by 15 artists from 12 countries, this vibrant group exhibition brings together diverse voices, each interpreting abstraction through their own personal and cultural lens.
The artworks explore themes such as identity, nature, memory, and human relationships, expressed through a range of media, techniques, and visual rhythms. Each piece invites the viewer to connect with meaning beyond language.
A special section of the exhibition is dedicated to youth artists, whose energetic compositions, vibrant palettes, and fresh perspectives offer a glimpse into the world of abstract expression from youth perspective.
All participating artists are currently based in the UAE, representing Algeria, Armenia, Canada, India, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Russia, Sudan, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates. The featured artists include Miska Mohmmed Abdelmajeed Mohmmed, Ashraf Abdelmonim Mohamed Ibrahim, Ahmed Amine Aitouche (AKA Sneakhotep), Aras Bildik, Lina Al Dabbagh, Salama Almazrouei, Zeena Al-Zubi, Tumpa Banerjee, Hasmik Chakhalyan, Alina O'Dwyer, Aya Qubbaj, Hend Rashed, Haafiza Ajaz Sayed, Irudhayanathan Thangaraj, and Youness Siraj Mounir (AKA Yun K).
The opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 24 at 6:00 PM at Kutubna Cultural Center, located in Madina Avenues, Nadd Al Hamar, Dubai. Guests are invited to explore the exhibition and immerse themselves in a rich and diverse selection of abstract works.
Nora Qudah, curator of the exhibition at Kutubna Cultural Center, said: 'Putting this exhibition together has been an exciting process. It has allowed me to look deep into the artists' cultures and roots, connecting with their human stories in a meaningful way.
The inclusion of youth in this exhibition holds a special spot in my heart, as their energy and creativity are where the true inspiration comes from. I'm thrilled to share this unique collection with the community and invite everyone to experience the depth and beauty of abstract art. Through abstract art, we discover that expression isn't always in what we see, but in how we feel through art.'
