About MEEM Gallery
MEEM GALLERY, DUBAI
5 October - 1 November
5 October - 1 November
THIS OCTOBER Meem Gallery presents a group show exhibiting the recent work of contemporary Palestinian artists Nabil Anani (b. Latrun, 1945), TayseerBarakat (b. Jabalya Camp, Gaza, 1959) and Sliman Mansour (b. Birzeit, 1947). Through their work each artist reflects on the occupation of Palestine, iconography related to their culture, as well as current regional topical and political issues such as the recent Middle East uprisings. Anani’s work focuses on the motif of the olive tree, a major component of Palestine’s landscape. For Anani, the destruction of the olive tree by Israeli forces parallels the plight of the people living under the occupation. Barakat describes his work as ‘a mosaic of images,’ which explore the recent uprisings, Palestine’s occupation and history, while Mansour focuses on an individual figure to convey the ‘different states of exhausting anticipation or loss.’
