We are heading out to art studio FN Designs to catch a glimpse of Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej’s first foray into product design with his piece ‘wajal’.
The furniture display, which incorporates an interconnected wall-hanging mirror and various elements of seating takes its inspiration from verses from the Qur’an.
Considered among the second generation of Emirati artists, Bin Lahej is a self-taught painter, sculptor and photographer and movement is an important key to his art – from his large-scale oil and acrylic paintings with his unique signature brush strokes, to his equally powerful sculptures that capture split-second movement.
The exhibition ends on March 21. Call 04 379 0490 for more information.
