with curating: with over 30 pieces to display; varied between digital art paintings photography installations etc , the artworks were tidy hanged & well-organized way, the space didnt feel over crowded or missy, visitors were not distracted, everything felt like it was placed in harmony. Most importantly there were no huge price tags tangling from artworks, which is a mistake some galleries dont pay attention to! Huge tag prices makes the gallery look like a bazaar and lowers the value of artwork itself. If an Affordable Art Night would be done, it should be curated the way Dar Al Funoon did because it was done perfectly.

Artworks by Faisal Mohammed

Dar Al Funoon 3rd Affordable Art Show The Daring Innovative And Captivating As I said, the second thing I love was selection of artworks. It was a mixture of contemporary and modern; some very daring like Mohammed Sharafs sociopolitical digital art, Yousef Al Qoud painting. Innovative like William Andersons China Trade Tile series where he used cobalt blue paint, decal and transfer print on porcelain.

China Trade Tile Series by William Anderson

William Anderson China Trade Tile: A Secret Passage. Medium: cobalt blue paint, decal and transfer print on porcelain. But the most art piece that caught my mind was Over Population installation by Roa Al Shaheen (below): a fish jar filled with water cluttered with fishes, they all seemed dead because the ones at bottom were smashed by the above

Roa Al Shaheen Over Population Installation

Details from Roa Al Shaheen Over Population Installation (Source) The significance of this artwork is it depicts the consequences of jamming people in small corner and pressuring them, they will all fight for surviving and exceeding but in the end non reach it. Al Shaheen, who is also an architect

and interior designer, represented this in-human situation in a symbolic, contemporary installation so simple yet deep. The Conclusion! Dar Al Funoons 3rd Affordable Art Night Young Artists Edition, was a success: exposing new talents, emphasizing others and giving opportunity for viewers to witness unique creativity, that must not be underestimated or taken for granted Looking forward to see what all these artists will present in the future!
