Press Release

Ayyam Gallery proudly announces its upcoming participation in the 2010 edition of Abu Dhabi Art. Since first contributing to Abu Dhabi Art (formerly known as ArtParis-AbuDhabi) in 2007, Ayyam Gallery has brought a rousing selection of some of the Middle East’s top artists to the fair’s international audience.

This year the leading art space will provide a look at three of the region’s most prominent painters with major examples of the cutting-edge styles that have established their individual places in contemporary Arab art. As trendsetters with diverse approaches, the works of Samia Halaby, Nadim Karam and Thaier Helal demonstrate some of the exciting new trends that are changing the direction of contemporary art today. Together they not only represent a range of techniques and mediums—they also stand as significant members of different generations.
