Fine art gallery, West Contemporary, introduces the talent of globally-recognised mixed-media British artist, Carne Griffiths to the Capital Club in a show entitled ‘FLIGHT’. A proportion of the works will immortalise elements of Dubai’s unfolding history by referencing its culture, geographical history, design and architecture – all becoming synonymous with Dubai.

‘FLIGHT’ will offer art collectors in Dubai a selection of new and previously unseen works by the artist for the first time. Carne is known widely in the British contemporary art scene for works he creates with unconventional mediums such as tea along with more traditional materials such as paint and ink. Artworks in this collection feature his signature organic and fluid forms, with lines that create visually ethereal portraits.

Mesmerised by the exquisite beauty and design in many corners of Dubai’s commercial and cultural quarters, Carne has referenced these in several of his artworks.  Morphing Dubai’s pearl-diving and one of Art history’s most famous paintings, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, Carne has used pearlescent paint on his own reworking of the masterpiece.
