SUMMARY:Khozema Al-Aaed: We Walk on Stories
DESCRIPTION:Khozema Al‑Aaed’s solo exhibition reimagines cartographies\, reminding us that land absorbs our movements\, our wounds\, our hopes\, “becoming a living archive of human presence” as the gallery puts it. “The compositions resemble traces of cities once inhabited\, imagined\, or departed. Lines recall footsteps and pathways that may no longer exist\, yet continue to shape identity and belonging. Land appears not as a passive surface\, but as a living archive that absorbs stories\, wounds\, and hopes over time …” \nThe exhibition has been curated by Lina Mikati. \nTo 13 April. \nAbove: Khozema Al-Aaed\, Cities 2 (2025)

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Besher Koushaji: Moments of Hope
DESCRIPTION:Koushaji’s exhibitions continues his exploration of memory\, resilience\, and the human condition with a new body of work that “reflects on a world shaped by displacement\, conflict\, and uncertainty\, yet illuminated by fleeting moments of beauty and strength”. His signature is a richly layered canvas through which Koushaji weaves symbols of cultural memory such as lemons\, pomegranates\, and flowers as metaphors of endurance and renewal; at the heart of his compositions stands the figure of the woman\, embodying continuity\, tenderness\, and quiet power.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Ihab Ahmad: I PUT MY BRAIN ON PAUSE!
DESCRIPTION:The new body of work in this solo exhibition marks a turning point in Ihab Ahmad’s practice – “a move toward instinct\, spontaneity\, and emotional exploration” as the gallery puts it. Smiling faces populate the canvases\, each a reflection of the people and encounters that have left a joyful imprint on his life; new materials\, oil and spray paint\, are applied on linen to create richly layered\, expressive surfaces that blur the line between abstraction and figuration\, “reflecting a deeper trust in intuition and emotional release”. \nAlongside the paintings\, Ahmad will be showing a new series of sculptures that echo the playful\, totemic language of this visual world.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Reynier Llanes: Reverie
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition inspired by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s comment on ‘reverie’ – “Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul”\, a space where imagination and memory intertwine to reveal profound truths about the self and the world. The Cuban painter embodies that vision in this exhibition\, curated by Celine Azem; “his canvases invite viewers into a dreamlike space where personal and collective histories merge … His work does not retreat from life’s struggles but reinterprets them\, transforming them into compositions where emotions\, memories\, and aspirations coexist in harmony”. \nTe exhibition introduces the latest works from Llanes’ The Poet series\, bridging ancestral echoes with contemporary realities; The Poet is an ethereal\, enigmatic figure drifting between memory and imagination\, past and present\, to become a vessel for the viewer’s own reflections. “The Poet is both wanderer and witness\, a keeper of memory embodying the ever-shifting human condition.”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Negin Fallah\, Mai Al Remeithi\, Annie Kurkdjian: Contours of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three female artists whose backgrounds\, experiences\, and practices converge in a shared exploration of cultural heritage\, personal memory\, and emotional landscapes. Negin Fallah examines the intersection of tradition and transformation\, where echoes of Iranian illuminated manuscripts and miniatures collide with contemporary narratives of human psychology\, mythology\, and naturalistic philosophy. Mai Al Remeithi’s minimalist compositions channel the architectural metamorphosis of the UAE\, echoing the nation’s balance of heritage and modernity. And Annie Kurkdjian‘s portraits\, often grotesque and haunting\, provide a window into the human psyche scarred by war and displacement.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Laura Lappi: Metamorphosis
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the MENA region for the Finnish artist. Her work draws inspiration from ancient basilicas\, cathedrals\, and other Scandinavian wooden structures. Using wood as her primary medium\, Lappi establishes a direct connection to her homeland and the natural world through sculptures that evoke architectural qualities. \nTransformation is central to Lappi’s practice; the wall sculptures from her Basilica series show wood transitioning from a living organism to a shaped\, discarded\, reused\, cut\, and organised material. Layering wood to form intricate geometric patterns\, she employs a charring technique using fire; the material  undergoes a profound metamorphosis\, assuming an in-between state\, half-dead and half-alive\, resistant to preservation. \nThe exhibition also introduces a collection of drawings that offer a glimpse into her creative process and inner thoughts. These drawings serve as a bridge between the conceptual realm on paper and the tangible manifestation of transformation in her art\, providing an illuminating perspective on her artistic journey. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Laura Lappi: Metamorphosis
DESCRIPTION:The first solo exhibition in the MENA region for the Finnish artist. Her work draws inspiration from ancient basilicas\, cathedrals\, and other Scandinavian wooden structures. Using wood as her primary medium\, Lappi establishes a direct connection to her homeland and the natural world through sculptures that evoke architectural qualities. \nTransformation is central to Lappi’s practice; the wall sculptures from her Basilica series show wood transitioning from a living organism to a shaped\, discarded\, reused\, cut\, and organised material. Layering wood to form intricate geometric patterns\, she employs a charring technique using fire; the material  undergoes a profound metamorphosis\, assuming an in-between state\, half-dead and half-alive\, resistant to preservation. \nThe exhibition also introduces a collection of drawings that offer a glimpse into her creative process and inner thoughts. These drawings serve as a bridge between the conceptual realm on paper and the tangible manifestation of transformation in her art\, providing an illuminating perspective on her artistic journey. \nTo 26 April. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Josh Rowell: Moral Codes
DESCRIPTION:Rowell’s first solo exhibition in the Middle East\, curated by Celine Azem\, invites viewers to contemplate the moral codes that shape our society. At the heart of the exhibition lies an installation of Rowell’s Painting Language series\, interpretations of Aesop’s fables that invite us to reflect on the significance of ethical principles in shaping our individual and collective actions. Other works from this series reflect on ancient mathematics and geometry\, merging art\, technology\, and language\, blurring the boundaries between the digital and the tangible. \nAlso on show is Rowell’s Mosaics series\, drawing inspiration from trending comments found on various social media platforms and reflecting the ephemerality of online phenomena; and the Virtually Fragile series sheds light on the fragility of our digital connectivity\, depicting a loss of connectivity that prompts us to contemplate our dependence on the digital realm and the potential consequences of its disruption. \nTo 7 November.
