Ayyam Gallery Dubai (11 & 12 Alserkal Avenue) is pleased to announce Illuminated Space and Documentary Drawings of the Kafr Qasem Massacre, the concurrent solo shows of New York-based artist Samia Halaby. These side-by-side exhibitions present Halaby’s latest abstract paintings alongside a series of drawings from a long-standing project that led to her most recent publication Drawing the Kafr Qasem Massacre (Amsterdam: Schilt Publishing, 2017).
Following a 2014 critically acclaimed retrospective at Ayyam Gallery Dubai (11 Alserkal Avenue) - which travelled to the Beirut Exhibition Center in 2015 - Halaby produced a new series of paintings with several directives in mind. Illuminated Space highlights the artist’s latest experiments in abstraction, which unfolded over the course of two years.
