Description
We are very excited to announce the launch of Letters of Love II by Wissam Shawkat at Mestaria Gallery_
All of Wissam’s research and artistic journey can be summed up in two words: Letters and Love_
Love as a principle for a life in letters is a compelling entrance into the work and artistic journey of Wissam Shawkat_ Love moves his work and his viewers. Love propels his ambitions to carry on evolving new forms and calligraphic expressions_ It motivates his aspirations to bring Arabic calligraphy out of the confines of a traditional practice into the universe of international contemporary art_ Love is not only the poetic subjects of his works, but also the root of his passionate journey and the various directions it has taken him so far_
11 years on from Letters of Love, his 2011 solo exhibition at Reed Space in New York that introduced a global audience to a series of contemporary compositions, we are delighted to announce the reprise here in Dubai on 11-11-22_
Between 5pm-8pm on Friday 11th November, we are offering the opportunity to join us at the Exhibition Launch Event in the gallery_
We are keeping advanced access strictly invitation only so please sign up for Exhibition Entry to receive your invitation_
