CLOSING TODAY Wafa Al Falahi: Feathers in the Reeds, Milk in the Mud

The Emirati artist’s first solo exhibition features an imaginary bestiary on paintings, works on paper and ceramic sculptures. Al Falahi’s creatures each carry a feeling, a memory or a premonition, says the gallery: “Pieced together from what has stayed with the artist after moving through a place, recomposed through memory, childhood and fantasy, they emerge from papier mâché, pastel and pigment, raised in thick relief on the canvas, before stepping, in clay, into the space of the gallery … Al Falahi’s fables carry no fixed morals: beauty sits alongside violence, innocence alongside desire, and their meaning stays open, as it does in a dream”.
