The gallery, which has two
levels, contained visual art from all mediums (i.e. sculptures, paintings, photography).
The displays were impressive but the
added attraction was that the actual artist was there to represent and answer
any questions pertaining to their work.
The
gallery represents artists such as Najla Al-Ruwaitea (Najla.alrwaita@hotmail.com), Maliha AbdulRahman Z. Alsuwaida (MalihaAlsuwaida@gmail.com) and Reem Alsubaiy (vibjolie@yahoo.com). My attention was focused on these three artists.
Ms. Najla’s art piece “I see no
evil, hear no evil, speech no evil” is metaphoric and causes you to understand
and feel what’s being depicted in her work.
Ms. Maliha’s work was mostly of
women cloaked in white garments. I found her art to be aesthetically appealing creations.
Ms. Reem’s self-portrait is a
unique happy medium that stands out from the crowd. There are no gimmicks or
distractions, just pure talent.
Each artist possesses very different
styles but their creativity commands attention and evokes a conversation.
