Ayyam Gallery Dubai (11, Alserkal Avenue) is pleased to present Thresholds, the solo show of Sharjah-based painter Mouteea Murad. Organised by critic and curator Murtaza Vali, Thresholds highlights the artist’s latest body of work as he further experiments with the use of mathematics in geometric abstraction, an approach to non-objective art that he developed over the course of a decade. 

 

In the three years since his last exhibition in the United Arab Emirates, Murad has placed a greater emphasis on space and dimension in his paintings, drawing on the formalism of Op art. He returns to Dubai with large-scale works that use the Fibonacci number sequence as a starting point for large-scale compositions. Murad’s recent canvases explore the growth patterns that result from the numerical series as he uses it to create a sense of movement and the illusion of expanding space. By doing so, he encourages the viewer to engage each work with a phenomenological sensibility.
