SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Afra Al Dhaheri: Restless Circle
DESCRIPTION:A selection of works by Afra Al Dhaheri that explore the structural effects of tension\, repetition and time provides Sharjah Art Foundation’s first show of Autumn. “Working with materials such as cotton rope\, fabric\, cement and hair\, the artist emphasises slow gestures\, intentional movements and the fatigue that can build from ongoing\, repetitive and even invisible labour …” \nThe exhibition’s title comes from a newly commissioned installation with the same name; that draws inspiration from desert plants that create spiral patterns in the sand as they move with the wind. For Afra Al Dhaheri\, this offers a metaphor for mental exhaustion and collective burnout\, the sense of being endlessly pushed to produce or perform: “in other works\, repetition emerges as a condition of making\, a method shaped by the interplay of tension\, weight and the ongoing rhythm of doing and undoing”.

SUMMARY:Whispers of Play
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three young Japanese artists that celebrates the playful sensibility at the heart of contemporary Japanese expression – “a sensibility that transforms familiarity into wonder\, nostalgia into dream” as the gallery has it. \nThese artists have used Japanese pop culture and anime icons as emotional textures rather than cultural symbols. Each work becomes a quiet act of translation\, between inner and outer worlds\, between collective memory and personal reverie. Yukari Nishi constructs scenes of estrangement and longing in a dreamlike vision of mid-century America with faceless\, non-human figures and cinematic settings. Koichi Yairi creates collages with irregularly shaped canvases and translucent layers to translate fragments of daily life into abstract narratives. NANA SAIAKU’s works recall the fragility of emotion and the resilience of youth. \nTo 16 December.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Gail Spaien: Arranging Flowers
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural show of Taymour Grahne’s new project space in Dubai features the Maine-based painter\, the recipient of numerous fellowships amd now (after 30 years as faculty at the Maine College of Art and Design) a full time artist. Her wprk is precise\, full of strong colour and redolent of time and place yet at the same time slightly mysterious – and often providing what the accompanying text calls “an asymmetrical chorus line of color and texture” . Recommended. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hussain Jamil: Refracted Life
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibition\, Jamil presents a new body of work that explores how we see ourselves — and how we are seen — in an ever-changing world. Working with hand-formed polished steel wall sculptures\, woven metal mesh\, and mirrored sculptural surfaces\, he creates artworks that bend\, fracture\, and recompose the viewer’s reflection. Each piece is activated by presence and movement — so the spectator becomes a participant within the work. \nTo 20 December. \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Cindy Bernhard: When the Eternal Breaks Through
DESCRIPTION:In the new body of work in this solo show\, Bernhard continues her exploration of surface as revelation “where paint radiates\, refracts\, and breathes … Each canvas becomes a threshold between the sacred and the screen\, where baroque intensity meets the language of our hyper-mediated age”. Her luminous\, cinematic\, often humorous paintings expand the boundaries of contemporary figuration\, transforming light itself into both subject and atmosphere. \nTo 16 December. \n
