Abu Dhabi’s Makma Art Gallery has announced its first public exhibition in Dubai, set to take place at Downtown Design from 8-11 November 2023 at the d3 Waterfront Terrace in Dubai Design District.
The gallery’s exhibition booth promises to redefine the fascination of crystal craftsmanship within a contemporary framework, paying homage to a century-old legacy that chronicles the fascinating journey of refined glass and crystal artistry, made from 100% natural and durable material.
Alia Sefrioui, Founder of Makma Art Gallery, commented: “We are thrilled to be part of Downtown Design 2023, a premier platform that brings together the region’s creative community. We look forward to connecting with visitors on the ground, networking and sharing our mission of casting a contemporary light on the brilliance of glass and Bohemian crystal. Makma offers a fresh perspective on these age-old art forms, infusing them with modernity and celebrating the exceptional expertise of European artisans. By strategically positioning our pieces to showcase their vibrant colours, we aim to create a visually captivating and artistically compelling display at the fair.”
The centrepiece of the Gallery’s Downtown Design showcase will be a pair of monumental vases in vivid sapphire blue, towering at an impressive 155 cm. These vases serve as a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship of European glass and crystal masters from the 19th and 20th centuries.
