ArtExhibition at Sultan Gallery: Sultan Gallery will hold the opening of an exhibition titled ‘Tensile Modulus’ in the presence of the artist, Omar Khouri today (May 10 from 7-9 pm).

Abstraction and representation; self and other; science and art; geometric structures and natural shapes; autonomous units and parts of the whole; the suspended present moment and the perpetual fl ow of time... Our world is fi lled with dualities that pull at our lives in opposing directions, creating the tensile forces that move us forward. Taking the tension between the artist’s Arab cultural background and his Western one as its departure point, “Tensile Modulus” is a series of portrait experiments exploring the opposing con-cepts that suspend each of us in our unique and lonely spot in the infi nite net of being that paradoxically connects us all.

Exhibition dates: May 11-June 9 from 10 am - 4 pm;

(closed on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays)

For further inquiries please contact the gallery at sultangallery1969@gmail.com or at +96560970001
