"Though many of these artists are known for their bold utilization of color, their focus on the line, texture, and shadow shapes a more nuanced understanding of their work."
Elmarsa Gallery in Dubai is pleased to present Nuances of black and white, an exhibition presenting a group of artists using black and white and the nuanced shades in between.

Nuances of black and white juxtaposes works that range from realism to abstraction to modern art, comprising a range of media including painting, drawing, engraving, ceramic, mosaic and photography, shining a light on the unique aesthetics of each artist. Though many of these artists are known for their bold utilization of color, their focus on the line, texture, and shadow shapes a more nuanced understanding of their work. In highlighting each artist’s individualized style, this exhibition encourages a conversation across Contemporary and Modern, formal and spiritual movements.
