The '50 x 50' exhibition will be inaugurated today by Al Markhiya Gallery at Katara Cultural Village Foundation, building No. 5. The collective exhibition of works by local artists is on its 9th edition and will run until January 20, 2023. The event is under the patronage of Qatar Financial Centre with the objective of briefing the public on the latest developments in Qatari plastic art, and the promotion of the local and Arab culture.
The art coordinator at Al Markhiya Gallery Anas Kotait, in a press statement, indicated that the exhibition represents an occasion for the convergence of a plethora of innovative artists and is poised to witness a substantial number of visitors in light of embracing the FIFA World Cup Qatar fans.
He underlined the keenness of Al Markhiya Gallery to introduce the local and Arab culture, in addition to summarizing the process of Qatari plastic art through an exhibition that attracts several illustrious names in this artistic field who belong to a variety of art schools and pursue various techniques via a combination of tiny paintings. For her part, artist Ebtisam Alsaffar stated that she participates in three paintings, measuring 50 x 50 centimeters, that belong to her recent works titled 'Beheira', pointing out that she expresses missing faces in acrylic colours on canvas, in the style of the abstract expressionist school that searches its technology for years.
