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”.

To 24 November.

This show inaugurates Hunna Art’s new space in Alserkal Avenue, promising a new exhibition every month and a public programme of talks, encounters and evenings. The gallery is dedicated to amplifying the voices of a new generation of women artists from the Arabian Peninsula and the broader Arab world.
