Ayyam Gallery Dubai (11 Alserkal Avenue) is pleased to announce Hybrids, a solo exhibition by Rashid Al Khalifa. Hybrids will present a selection of wall-mounted installations from six different series from 2010 to 2017.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to hold this solo exhibition at Ayyam Gallery, Dubai. Dubai is one of the most important destinations attracting many artists, pioneers and innovators, not only in the art industry but also in various sectors. I was very keen to accept the invitation to hold this exhibition in which I present some of my work reflecting my artistic experience over the last 10 years. The exhibition presents the concept of hybrids through an approach that reflects my personal reading of the rich origins of beauty, and how this opens doors for every artist to be more creative and innovative. I presented twenty works of art, including paintings and sculptures, in which I use solid industrial materials and sometimes unusual materials, such as aluminum sheets cut and painted with industrial colors to be presented as a piece of art.” said the artist Rashid Al Khalifa.

Over the past four decades, Rashid Al Khalifa has continuously explored the nature of experientiality of art whilst asserting the importance of its context over art for art’s sake. Rashid has experimented with a multitude of painting styles, including Realism, Impressionism, and Individualism. Over the past decade, he has turned to Abstraction and Colour Field.
