SUMMARY:Jane Beveridge: Local
DESCRIPTION:The Dubai-based artist’s first solo show aim to capture the essence of Dubai\, and of belonging. Says the artist\, who is currently Head of Art at Dubai College: “my visual palette and material inspiration are rooted in the streets. I am drawn to the beauty of cracked\, stained\, and weathered walls as well as surfaces patched with plaster or paint – they read like large abstract paintings. Corrugated cardboard\, concrete\, sand\, rust\, tangled wires\, weathered wood – all find their way into my work\, each carrying a story of time\, place and texture …” \nTo 6 April.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Luis Olaso: Photosynthesis
DESCRIPTION:New work by the Spanish artist\, which the gallery says marks a pivotal moment in his practice. They were created in his new studio in Cádiz\, surrounded by olive\, almond\, and orange trees\, allowing nature to enter physically and psychologically; rather than depicting this environment directly\, Olaso allows it to act as a catalyst for emotion\, intuition\, and subconscious response. As the artist puts it: “Even when I work with plants\, flowers\, or everyday elements\, I am not aiming for literal representation; they are a vehicle to express abstract metaphors of myself and the moment I am living while creating the work”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Alia Hussain Lootah: In the Space of Becoming
DESCRIPTION:In this new body of work – paintings\, drawings\, and sculpture – Alia Lootah continues an exploration of how form moves\, shifts\, and transforms (“a form is never finished\, only paused”). Shapes stretch\, collapse\, and reappear altered\, “existing in a space between recognition and ambiguity” as the gallery puts it. \nThe exhibition is anchored by knitted sculptures that demonstrate how simple materials can generate complexity – structures produced by a meditative\, rhythmic act shaped by memory and labour\, contrasting softness and stability\, movement and stillness. “The exhibition invites viewers to engage patiently\, witnessing forms that are always unfolding\, always becoming …”

As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Memoryscape: Contemporary Visions Across the Arab Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:A group show for six contemporary artists of Arab descent: Gilbert Halaby\, Hanibal Srouji\, Hussein Baalbaki\, Richard Hearns\, Sarah Alagroobi\, and Soraya Abu Naba’a. Says the gallery: “At the heart of Memoryscape lies a shared inquiry into how our surroundings shape\, hold\, and recall our histories. For these artists\, the landscape is more than scenery\, it is an archive of experience\, a repository of emotion\, and a mirror of identity …” \nTo 26 April. \nAbove: Hussein Baalbaki\, Seaside (2025).

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE The Dice Player: Mahmoud Darwish
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the life and work of the great Palestinian poet (b.1941  d.2008) that unfolds across six themed sections – The Son explores his childhood in Al-Birwa; The Poet highlights his early literary beginnings; The Exiled follows his displacement and travels; The Lover examines the role of love in his work; The Activist reflects his national commitment and the transformation of language into struggle; and The Absent Presence commemorates his enduring human and artistic legacy. \nRather than a biography\, the exhibition traces the evolution of his work through words\, images\, and music\, reflecting his vision of life and poetry; it offers an interactive artistic and cultural journey\, using AV technology to immerse visitors in Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry and prose. .

SUMMARY:Sara Naim: From the Perspective of Language
DESCRIPTION:Sara Naim’s fourth solo show at the gallery is also her first public exhibition of paintings\, large-scale works produced between 2023 and 2026 that move between figuration and abstraction. The exhibition is accompanied by a new video performance\, Mother Practices Her Tongue (2026)\, which “abstracts the Arabic language into gestures and sounds that no longer produce coherent meaning … Together\, the paintings and video extend Naim’s ongoing investigation into how meaning is constructed through inherited systems such as language\, symbols\, and ideology”. \nTo 31 May. \nAbove: Sara Naim\, Skin 8 (2025) \n

SUMMARY:Douglas White: The Great Wave
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his practice\, White approaches sculpture as a kind of material alchemy – discarded substances are reworked forms that appear uncannily animate: industrial debris becomes wave\, tree\, or cosmic surface\, revealing unexpected continuities between natural forces and technological systems. \nTwo sculptures form the centre of the exhibition. In The Great Wave (after Hokusai)\, fragments of torn tyre rubber collected from roadsides around the world gather into a dense\, turbulent crest that rises above the viewer – one of the most recognisable images in art history\, understood as a moment of impending force poised above fragile human lives. And the monumental Black Palm rises through the gallery like an improbable organism\, assembled from lengths of discarded tyre rubber\, its trunk and fronds have presence of a living structure – an artificial tree grown from the residues of global mobility. \nAcross the exhibition White’s works reveal the hidden energies that shape material form. In the Lichtenberg Drawings\, high-voltage electrical discharges burn branching patterns directly into the surface of wood\, creating lightning-like structures that emerge through the interaction of energy and resistance. And the electroformed Black Sun works develop slowly through the accumulation of copper in electrically charged baths\, allowing metallic surfaces to crystallise over time. \nTo 6 May.
