Black vs Colour

16 October - 30 November 2008
Black vs Colour opens at Ayyam Gallery, Dubai on 16th October. After a highly successful debut in Spring, and a silent spell over Ramadan for renovations, Ayyam Gallery, Dubai comes back with a bang, with a show of six of its finest Syrian artists. Ayyam Gallery, Dubai has gathered some of Syria's finest contemporary names from its formidable stable of artists for a group exhibition which will feature a vast variety of media. Some of the artists express themselves in shades of black and white, while others opt for colour. The show is an expression of both and will include paintings and photographs that cover different subjects, styles and techniques, all drawing on colour or monochrome. The six artists on show will be Khaled Takreti, Safwan Dahoul, Nassouh Zaghlouleh, Ammar Al-Beik, Asaad Arabi, and Youssef Abdelke. The exhibition is in essence six solo shows brought together by the theme of Black versus Colour.
