Diana Al-Hadid

A preview of Al-Hadid’s Art Dubai exhibits in advance of the art fair, showing in the Plaza at One Za’abeel in partnership with Galleri Brandstrup and Bureau Safavid. We’re promised “a dialogue between memory, architecture, and cultural identity”; Al-Hadid’s richly allegorical work explores the interplay of sky and landscape as a compositional foundation via her characteristic controlled dripping technique. By engaging with architectural forms, Al-Hadid’s work considers the impermanence of civilization and the ambiguous presence of the human figure. Guided tours between 2 and 4pm on 9, 10 and 11 April should give more insights into the artist’s intricate process, philosophy, and impact. To 15 April.
