Gallery Sarah is a place to experience extraordinary and artistic elements in an environment that encourages discovery and conversation. In an age of virtual reality, Gallery Sarah reasserts the role of the gallery as a space to have dialogue with the community – in person.
The ongoing Coronation exhibition at the Gallery marks the opening of an international home for artists. The group show is a celebration of rich diversity and talent, including works by established artists at their peak, as well as those who are beginning to make their mark in the art world.
The works on display from contemporary artists around the world – Oman, Syria, Tunisia, India, Lebanon, Russia, and US and UK – include calligraphy, abstract, realistic, landscape and surrealist, among a host of inspired pieces that explore unconventional painting techniques, such as mixed media and multi-patterned paintings. Shapes and lines are driving forces in the extraordinary works of Omani artist Bakri and Al Madny whose artwork is well known as ‘Calligrafitti’.
Gallery Sarah is also hosting the works of Indian artist Dilip Oinam, who sent his works from India to Oman in record time.
