Interesting choices of media-are they mostly acrylics?? Everything is so bouncy and shiny. Or were there other stalls not included?

[@TheArtFairGuy]

There were other stalls not included but the exhibition in general was very colourful.

[@Broody58]

Alot of very nice, thought out work. Executed well. Some wall decor...but thats expected.

Thanks for your feedback and for watching 🩷

[@adimuhardi]

Selamat dan Sukses selalu❤👍

[@sinvaldecarvalho601]

Apesar de la cantidad de obras expuestas, pude percibir qué son pocos los artistas qué tienen una propuesta interesante y qué lleve el espectador a la reflexión. El arte está perdiendo el sentido, pués son pocos los artistas comprometidos con el arte de verdad. El espácio de la exposición és maravilloso y muy bién iluminado, pena que nó pude ver el arte qué me encanta de verdad!

There was a strong graphic arts appearance to this show. I was able to notice some very progressive abstract compositions here and there. Maybe it's those smaller thoughtful peices that are providing us with some forgleams of the future.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

@@MorrisRicker-is6vg thanks for the interesting comment!! Any favourites?

[@MorrisRicker-is6vg]

Yes there were. Stolenkova Art displayed a set of smaller and interesting works. Carolina Hollinger showed us some progressive ideas. The Mohamed Mehi space presented some unique center weighted works. As most artists know, working with center weighted design is challenging. I also wanted to mention the works at Batool Jafari space. I thought that the combination of the figural and the semi - abstract elements was very successful. Quite different from the pseudo - realistic faces so often seen splashed with paint and glitter.

[@laotseu2003]

Merci beaucoup c'est très intéressant et çà correspond exactement à l'image que l'on se fait du goût artistique de Dubaï. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de visiteurs (heures de fermeture ?) Regarder la population qui visite ces foires (Bâle, Tokyo, Miami, NY ...) est toujours aussi instructif que les oeuvres.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

We made the Video before the opening hours 🙂In total there where 20.000 visitors and it was a great art fair with many sales.

[@santhoshlalpallath1665]

Yes - unfortunately they were doing a (very annoying) mic check when I was filming.

I thought Tripe was an outlawed dish in Dubai.

[@tizzyall.1798]

Многие, наверно, согласятся со мной, что эта выставка скорее декораторская, нежели художественная. Искусства в настоящем понимании этого слова - мало.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

This is an affordable art fair exhibiting mostly emerging artists. There are many extremely talented artists at this fair. But of course - the quality is different than some of the top art fairs. However - it's also not the goal to copy these art fairs.

[@ЕленаМакеева-ц1ж]

Но очень интересно.

[@aleksbellov]

Malevich's radical gesture is that with his black square he defeated the sun (a symbol of traditional culture). Over time, the square was transformed into a pixel and became the basis of all computer graphics. Postmodernity raised the square to the flag and began to deconstruct everything that was possible, in the end there was nothing left. It is being replaced by metamodernity and recognizes oscillation as the basis of all. The sun rises and sets. With my work I showed exactly this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d326aWCqmNGFfs0si=tEx_boFJQBXRNzAN

[@ostias]

What's happening with the art world ? Multiple wars , economic and climate crisis, new technologies.This show looks like a children's book supermarket.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

It's an emerging artist fair.

[@arun4557]

[@salesone8615]

You want artwork on your wall reminding you of the wars, economic and climate crisis? Art is about escaping that stuff

[@TheArtFairGuy]

@@salesone8615 Very Good point...

[@ostias]

It is inevitable not to express what happens to us as human beings. It is very noticeable when a market pushes to sell a product or a type of product.

[@Игорьгришин56]

Смотришь на картины и понимаешь что в голове...художника...иногда просто жуть....😮😅😊

[@omarmedrano9249]

algo de arte decorativo, algo de arte ingenuo como el figurativo de comics y personajes famosos, no hay un relevante que levante las cejas, no hay una propuesta de gritar innovación, muy amable al que puso el video ya que es una información importante sobre lo que pasa en otras ciudades, y pensé que dubai por ser una ciudad adinerada tendría buen arte, pero parece que no, capaz en otras galerías y espacios de esa ciudad existan. Pero si son mucho mejor que algunos videos de exposiciones en NY o los angeles que el arte esta decayendo por alla, garcias a todos y disculpas a todos

[@timcastle1844]

Art should speak, challenge, make the viewer think of things perhaps they'd never thought of before, almost like a trigger to something new. This is sadly lacking. It's all so 'Safe'.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

Very true. There are many artworks that do this. I had the chance to speak to many artists at World Art Dubai and their stories were very much what you are hoping to see.

[@timcastle1844]

@@TheArtFairGuy So many "artists" but comparatively few with courage.

[@TheArtFairGuy]

@@timcastle1844 Keep in mind that this art fair was held in Dubai, in the Middle East which has other laws and customs related to political, religious and sexual content than western countries.

[@timcastle1844]

@@TheArtFairGuy Fair point. Bot there are many art fairs not held in Dubai where I believe the objective of most of the art on display/for sale is like "Muzak" - safe but tedious. Just my worthless opinion because if they sell they are reaching the desired market and good for the Artists.

[@lobstermash]

The dictates of the western art world may not apply here. They have different traditions and ideas. It's interesting to me to see what kind of western mannerisms they do experiment with here. I assume the very bright colours are traditionally preferred.

[@GraemeLuey]

It's amazing that these galleries spend thousands on these booths and shipping etc. and this is what they chose to bring... and that one booth with the Banksy art and cutout paper tags taped to the wall? 😂😂

[@ANobleCause]

I don't find any of this sort of art appealing. It lacks emotion and language. Most of it seems to be contrived out of mental concepts based on cultural cliches, instead of coming from an evolutionary creative process of a person's soul. It seems that most of it is created for the purpose of making a product that looks good or doesn't in somebody's living room. It is the artist's responsibility to revolutionize the human experience, first their own, to draw the consciousness of the viewer and society toward self actualization. This happens as the artist themselves enters this path. Making stuff for the sake of making stuff results in more stuff. Creativity instead draws the human soul and society towards conscience growth and evolution. It makes that opportunity irresistible to the viewer. 🙏

[@TheArtFairGuy]

Agreed…This is almost, meaningless, and says: “ if you have no taste , but have a little money, come and waste here”.

[@norm2322]

Makes the point the art in Dubai is just a lousy as in Paris/ New York. Lots of gimmicks, very little originality and a color pallet with most that strain justification. Sad state of affairs for an art world searching for credibility/status.
