ABU DHABI ART FAIR
22 November - 26 November 2023
Artbooth Gallery is pleased to participate in the Abu Dhabi Art Fair 2023 for the first time, featuring works by Soraya Abu Naba’a, Afra Al-Suwaidi, Gilbert Halaby, and Hussein Baalbaki. The gallery's art fair selection captures diverse works by emerging and established artists from the Middle East who employ a wealth of materials and represent a variety of styles, examining an array of different subjects. Artbooth Gallery will be presented in the 'Special Projects’ segment under booth A28.

Soraya Abu Naba’a participates with three pieces from her renowned floral series, Dreamlike Figuration, meticulously crafted with fascinating floral compositions. Through this series, Soraya examines how secret messages were conveyed through flowers, making references to the Victorian era.

Afra Al-Suwaidi presents five multimedia installations which are created with environmentally friendly materials and recycled materials. Through her works Al Suwaidi explores the relationship between technology and humanity, seamlessly blending virtual and physical worlds to create thought-provoking and visually stunning works of art.

Gilbert Halaby's works are a manifestation of his artistic evolution. The artist presents four artworks inspired by his adopted city, Rome, where he has lived and worked for many years. Through his paintings, Gilbert creates a dialogue that bridges poetry and art, the past and present, and his former and present selves.

Hussein Baalbaki presents five of his works inspired by Notre Dame Cathedral and five abstract work. Baalbaki's paintings have a textured surface that offsets the subtlety of a soft palette. This "illustration" invokes a particular state or human experience that possesses its own distinct philosophy. The implication of light that is seen with the manipulation of color is essential to his paintings, as it indicates variation and movement and suggests infinite space and time
