Crossroads 4. Diversified Union at Yas Viceroy Hotel, Abu Dhabi

Open till the end of March and on display in the Light Box, Marina wing lobby of the Viceroy Hotel, Yas Island.
Stayed here over the weekend and was delighted to be able to see the works of 8 local artists from the UAE.
This was a joint venture between Swiss Art Gate UAE and Emirati artists.  I saw an incredible amount of talent showcased here, all showing creativity through various mediums, oils and acrylics, mixed Mediums, textiles and sculpture.  Each piece highlighting the artists strong links to their heritage and culture.  Sadly there was no catalogue to be had, there is a link to Swiss Art Gate, UAE.
It was the work with the textiles that I admired most, collages using numerous vibrantly coloured fabrics, silks, satins, natural fabrics and wools, alongside jewelled embellishments, placed lovingly on a neutral background to enhance the vibrancy of the fabrics. This work was created by a male artist Khalid Al Banna.  'stunningly beautiful'
