CONTEMPORARY VENICE

 

For the exhibition CONTEMPORARY VENICE  I am honored to be one of the featured artists and will present three of my iPhone artworks from my “Corridors of Cyberspace” series, as a triptych entitled “Now”.

 “CONTEMPORARY VENICE is an exhibition of contemporary art, an opportunity for international artists and architects to show their works in one of the most important exhibition places in Venice. The main theme is based on contemporaneity as a source of inspiration and a starting point for new visions of the world. The exhibition aims to analyze the contemporary human lives and behaviors, the relationship between man and urban/natural backgrounds. 

The meditation about the daily contacts between humankind and contemporary phenomena is always the object of artistic investigation. Art starts from the material and psychological aspects of the human life in specific time and contexts.”

- It’s LIQUID Group

CONTEMPORARY VENICE  – It’s LIQUID International Art Show, will be held in Venice, in the prestigious Palazzo Flangini, from December 16, 2016 to January 15, 2017.

FUTURE LANDSCAPES

Six of my iPhone artworks from my “Corridors of Cyberspace” series on wood will be exhibited at the FUTURE LANDSCAPES exhibition in Venice!

The FUTURE LANDSCAPES exhibition is part of the BORDERS FESTIVAL - The International Art and Architecture Festival which runs parallel to the 15th Architecture Biennale. 

I am one of the featured artists, and representing the UAE, I will be at the opening of the exhibition.

The festival focuses on the concept of “borders“, between the soul and the body, the man and the city, the city and the ground. The festival analyzes the idea of human and urban borders, how people live them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every human being lives in a world in which the limits, the borders, shape their attitudes and behaviors, limiting the freedom and creating a sense of alienation. The man reacts breaking the limits and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of “liquid cities“, where differences create new possibilities and exchange possibilities, instead of being social barriers. - BORDERS | VENICE MAY-NOV 2016 

FUTURE LANDSCAPES – Human creativity always spreads all over the world. For thousands of years we have applied our imagination and inventiveness to shape our landscapes. Cities are leading to a new aesthetic change that aims to rebalance the combination of humans and nature, not only to restore natural systems and ecological integrity but also to deliver beautiful, engaging and remarkable landscape experiences. Today we face many challenges that require a big effort in mixing new frontiers to create new extraordinary places and spaces. We aim to generate future landscapes without mental and physical borders, in which the human being is completely free.  - It’s LIQUID Group 

The openings of FUTURE LANDSCAPES will be on October 06, 2016 at Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi and on October 07, 2016 at Venice Art House Gallery, starting from 06:00 PM (free entry).

The Eye of the Beholder

Beyond Words

"Beyond Words" is one of my iphoneography artworks on wood that will be shown at "The Eye of the Beholder"

In the visually rich world we live in, the creative mind sees many things, places and images. The artist experiences a feeling in something, a photographer can hear the buzzing of a little bee in the distance, a sculptor sees a beautiful statue amidst the boulders on a mountain.  On the other hand, another person looks at the same thing, but sees something very different.  There is no wrong or right, for each is seen in the eye of the beholder.

The Eye of the Beholder is a joint art exhibition inviting all forms of artistic expression, from oil painting, sculpture or digiat art, video to music.  - Citizen E Art Gallery
