Get transported into the emotive world of Fouad Farah’s ‘Sit al Dounia’ exhibition at Saifi Village from the 26th of December until the 18th of January. Watercolor pieces depicting Beirut through the eyes of an architect who not only recreates the streets, historical houses, and souks with precision and accuracy but adds a new layer of realism by infusing a strong coat of emotion in each brushstroke. He omits the sky and the sun which are staples of the capital to let the light and the power of the people of Beirut speak for itself.
At Leila Heller Gallery in Dubai, Indian contemporary artist Manish Nai invites viewers to reconsider the materials that surround them.
