Noor Al Suwaidi's Solo Exhibition at Jossa by Alserkal
Emirati artist Noor Al Suwaidi presents her solo exhibition 'the sun is for everyone/the moon is for you' at Jossa by Alserkal in Dubai's Alserkal Avenue. The show features nine paintings and a collection of collages, the latter medium being a first for the artist since her last exhibition in 2014. Al Suwaidi first experimented with collage during her undergraduate studies at the American University of Washington DC (2001-2004). The paintings blend abstraction and figuration, incorporating negative space for the first time in her oeuvre, while the collages are crisp with unambiguous compositions. Reshma Mehra, Deputy Director of Alserkal Initiatives, praised Al Suwaidi as a valuable contributor to the UAE's art scene. The exhibition is supported by Alserkal Avenue, which aims to build cultural community and engagement in the UAE.
