Dubai.- The Green Art Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in the UAE for renowned Syrian painter Ziad Dalloul. Organized in collaboration with Atassi Gallery, Damascus, the exhibition opens on November 13th and will be on view until January 5th 2012. A reception will be held on the 13th of November from 7 – 9 pm in the presence of the artist. The show will feature several large-scale paintings including a triptych, which was featured in this year’s Sharjah Biennial, works on paper, and a series of etchings from the artist book entitled “The Book of Cities“ made in collaboration with Syrian poet Adonis. Considered to be among the most accomplished Arab painters and printmakers, Dallloul’s works merge contemporary disciplines with traditional materials such as ink, sepia and handmade paper.
