Dar Al-Funoon Gallery

Qatari artist Ali Hassan's work 'Harf Al Nun' will be on display and for sale at the gallery from March 24th at 7pm-April 8th.
His key feature is represented by his experience in associating Arabic letters with abstract painting and employing the aesthetics of each for the interest of the other. He finds some beauty in each and every letter. The letter 'noon' impressed and inspired him to create different styles using mixed media.





Gallery is open Sun-Thur from 10am-1pm and 4pm-8pm. Gallery closed on Fridays and appointment only on Saturdays. Dar Al-Funoon is located at  house 28, Behbehani Compound behind the church in the city. Tel. 22433138

LWDLIK- I'm a fan. Not sure which pieces will be exhibited or for sale. The above pics are examples of his work.
