About this Event
Join us at Art in Space for the VIP opening night of "What The Fire Left Behind", a solo exhibition with renowned Emirati artist Jalal Luqman.
The exhibition explores the concept of a journey back.
After losing all the work he had created for over 34 years, Jalal Luqman refused to stay broken; he refused to be an artist without a body of work.
With the remains of his warehouse fire, Jalal started his journey back. From the ashes of his burnt paintings and the melted remains of his sculptures, he created the new collection he exhibits here in Art in Space Gallery.
Standing up and dusting himself from the loss he had endured, Jalal moves seamlessly from welding and grinding steel and aluminum to spending hundreds of hours on the computer, creating digital worlds. This culmination results in a show that includes 3 multi-sensory immersive experiences, 12 AI-assisted digital artworks, 3 mixed media pieces, and 15 sculptures made from steel and melted aluminum.
The fire destroyed much, but not everything.
This is what the fire left behind.
