Tangerine Dreams

Ayyam Gallery’s summer collective exhibition focuses on the colour orange: “occupying a unique space between intensity and comfort, orange embodies both vitality and reflection. Associated with sunlight, fire, ripened fruit, and shifting horizons, the colour carries a rich spectrum of meanings that traverse cultures, histories, and emotional states …” For this show, orange becomes a vehicle through which artists explore memory, landscape, identity, and transformation: “the colour appears in varied forms, guiding viewers through moments of energy and stillness while revealing its ability to shape perception and mood”.
