the exhibition will take place on the 29 of Aug at Mashallah art space.
more coming soon. So stay tuned
I’ve decided to do a shoutout to inspiring illustrators and starting today, and this time is Sarah also known as Monkey Grip .
what I like about her illustration is the earthy tribal theme. She tends to draw a lot of faces with these dreamy feel to them occasionally surrounded by floral elements.
Sarah’s insta is : @monkey.grip, so make sure you check her work out
below are some of artworks done by her
Few years back I was fortunate and blessed to be one of of the Khaleeji voice book artists along with my bro Huvil representing bahrain.
My dear friends Melchiorand and Quinten did a great job in researching , connecting and documenting artists from all around the gulf.
Thank you for the opportunity and hope all artists are excelling and doing better
Just wanted to reflect some thoughts through this post.
Sometimes you realize how much effort and love you put when you look back at work you put with honesty.
The exhibition was a success despite all the challenges faced, from time constrains and resources. Nevertheless, Birmingham school of art and the team and artist was supportive and made this event happen.
These are pictures from the event ( all images were obtained through Ulafaa's website)
This year has also been productive, including new mediums , new color pallets , film photography and so traveling, i guess ill leave many of these to new upcoming posts.
for now i leave you with a teaser of Ulafaa's new upcoming exhibition posters:
Thank you for visiting , and always stay thankful and loving.
Alriwaq art space , which was located in adlyiah has its own significance among artists or the art community , both locally or internationally.
This space managed to give to Bahrain a lot through art exhibition and events which nourished the area and made block 338 in Manama what it is, artistic and colorful. An example that art can integrate with the public and government bodies.
To pay tribute to the space a couple of artist decided to leave their mark on alriwaq walls.
This is my contribution as a collaboration with the lovely talented artist Ali Hussain, one of Bahrain’s youngest successful painters who utilized his background in theater into his visual work.
First image is a panorama of our work facing a piece made by my partner in crime Huvil.
Now pictures and details of the work
And finally a selfie for us both
Have a wonderful day/evening everyone
Today we are thinking of exhibiting in a new space.
The new exhibition will focus on the idea of language and missing links.
Images of brainstorming , so stay tuned for more ideas.
I believe technology allows us to see our work differently. These are attempts at modifing and playing with previous work using glitching techniques.
