Award-winning Egyptian visual artist Amal Kenawy’s untitled sculpture (see left) is one of the works from contemporary Middle Eastern artists showing at the Golden Gates exhibition, which opens in Paris from 20 October- 13 November 2009.
Showing in the heart of the Marais at 46 Rue de Sévigné, this insightful exhibition showcases paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and installations by a cross generational selection of artists who represent a diversity of voices from across the region.
The show co-insides with FIAC, so it provides an excellent opportunity to see the artistic creativity emerging from countries including Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Palestine, Lebanon and Turkey. As art world insiders look to the Middle East as the most interesting emerging market, this show takes an in depth view and looks set to challenge our cultural preconceptions.
