Take a peek inside a private art collection at Bassam Freiha Art Foundation
This major exhibition of a private collection curated by Fairouz and Jean-Paul Villain, long time UAE art collectors. It brings modern and contemporary art from across the Arab world.
The first section, The Levant and the Greater Arab World: Voices Between the Lines, draws on Fairouz Villain’s deep ties to Syria and Lebanon.
Next up is North African Art: Forms of Continuity, which highlights how artists carry traditional forms into modern practice.
Finally, Emirati Art: This Place, This Feeling brings it all home with works by UAE legends like Hassan Sharif, Hussein Sharif, Mohammed Kazem, and Abdul Qader Al Rais.
Although this is not organized chronologically, it invites a cross-cultural reflection that encourages visitors to experience the artworks in conversation with one another.
