Art World Creation Dubai, the all-new art gallery, made its debut in the city recently. The gallery aspires to hold group and solo exhibitions six times a year to bring Turkish and international artists together with regional art lovers.
The title of its opening exhibition, Sand Flower, by internationally acclaimed artist Ahmet Güneştekin, comes from the desert rose, a complex formation of sand grains and crystal clusters. The exhibition features works that manifest the artist’s notion of this fragmented world, and they unearth his vision that there is a fractal face to the geometry of nature.
Among the exhibited are bronze sculptures with vibrant patterns and structures that appear over metamorphosed animals whose traces may be found in the mythical cosmos; heart-shaped works in which Güneştekin incorporates language into imagery with its lexical and reflective features; paintings that speak about the powerful mythic motifs in human life, and more. “We are honoured and delighted to be a bridge between young Turkish artists and art lovers in the Middle East and we are excited to start our journey in Dubai, a city that has quickly become a highly acclaimed art hub for the region,’’ said Anastasiya Lugovska, gallery manager, Art World Creation Dubai.
