SUMMARY:Abdulla Lutfi: LuffyxLutfi | Emirati-Manga
DESCRIPTION:The Emirati artist introduces “a unique fusion of Japanese manga and Emirati culture”; Lufti’s bold black-and-white line drawings aim to capture the essence of life in the UAE with humour and insight and a style inspired by Lutfi’s childhood love for anime – especially the iconic ‘One Piece’ series. This exhibition merges the fantastical elements of the “One Piece” universe with vibrant Emirati authenticity\, says the gallery.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Wissam Shawkat: Calligraformism
DESCRIPTION:The Iraqi artist and calligrapher introduces the latest examples of his signature style\, merging the beauty of classical Arabic scripts with modern design principles; Calligraforms transforms Thuluth script lettering into abstract\, fluid forms that are removed their textual meaning and presented as stand-alone visual elements. As he puts it\, “Each letter has a life and energy of its own. By magnifying their details and removing the constraints of the text\, I aim to reveal their hidden beauty.” \n“By blending the rich heritage of Arabic calligraphy with influences from modern European abstract movements like Cubism\, and Bauhaus\, Wissam creates a dialogue between the East and West\,” says the gallery. “Calligraformism is more than an art style; it is a philosophy\, an artistic movement\, that reflects Wissam’s desire to break the boundaries of classical calligraphy …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Areej Rajab: Interwoven
DESCRIPTION:New work by the Bahraini artist\, based on an interplay of colours and emotions where the intricate patterns of human behaviour are delicately overlapped with the rhythms of nature: “she reveals the intricate beauty of natural forms and how they mirror the complexities of human emotions\,” says the gallery. By layering colours\, Areej reflects how human emotions and experiences intertwine\, much like patterns in nature. \n“I find inspiration in nature as it is the purest source of colour\,” says the artist. “My focus is on colour combinations and how they blend and overlap rather than just colour itself\, much like how human behaviour and emotions often intertwine and influence one another. Different cultures can interpret colour in various ways\, which adds another layer of meaning to my work”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Magnus Gjoen: The Future of The Past
DESCRIPTION:Gjoen invites the viewer to explore the delicate balance between history and modernity\, as envisioned through a distinctive style that fuses street art influences with pop culture and fine art – symbols and themes from the Renaissance and Baroque are reimagined to challenge traditional views of beauty. That aesthetic isn’t too surprising; after studying fine art and fashion design\, Gjoen worked with Vivienne Westwood en route to a full-time commitment to art rather than fashion. The gallery is suitably bullish: “The Future of The Past … transports viewers across timelines\, challenging the thought of what was\, what is and perhaps what could be”.

SUMMARY:Charmaine Chanakira: Taking L’s
DESCRIPTION:The latest work from the Zimbabwean artist is described by the gallery as “a vibrant celebration of life’s unexpected lessons\, captured through a fusion of neo-expressionism\, Japanese Manga\, Pop Art\, and African art influences … Her art – alive with bold hues\, playful doodles\, and profound symbolism – serves as a mirror to our innermost thoughts and feelings\, revealing the unseen layers of our consciousness”. \nTaking L’s explores themes of loss\, love\, and learning through an upbeat lens\, offering a visual storytelling experience that celebrates resilience and the joy found in artistic exploration: “Chanakira’s exhibition is a testament to the strength derived from involuntary lessons\, vulnerability and the power of collective support”. \nTo 20 March. \n

SUMMARY:Tom Butler: Monochrome Metropolis
DESCRIPTION:In a departure from his usual vibrant collages\, Butler’s new work speaks of meticulous craftsmanship in fine line ink and graphite to create detailed contemporary representations of some of Dubai’s most well-known cityscapes: “upon deeper reflection\, a captivating and intricately woven narrative harmoniously unveils itself\, encouraging viewers to explore the hidden depths within each piece”. To 18 February. \nAbove: Tom Butler\, All That Glitters \n

SUMMARY:Wissam Shawkat: Black & White
DESCRIPTION:Monochrome works at reduced scale from one of the masters of modern calligraphic art. In this show there are 111 in total\, all in his characteristic calligraphy styles including Al Wissam and Calligraforms. “It feels to me a universal truth that master calligraphers do not first see colour\,” says Shawkat. “We see form; we do not study at length tonal contrasts\, before first analysing the relationship between our letterforms\, their rhythm\, and the space they occupy.” To 12 December.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Mariam Abbas: Terra Ephemera
DESCRIPTION:Mariam Abbas is an Emirati illustrator\, designer\, and visual artist influenced by the architecture\, botany\, and the rich cultural backdrop that surrounds her. In particular\, she finds that architecture can narrate tales of the past\, while botanical gems convey cultural and historical significance. Her practice manifests through intricate illustrations\, contemporary paintings\, and sculpture\, though predominantly she uses acrylics and pen and ink.
