Dubai's first ever exhibition by Israeli artists

Dubai’s promising art scene has just received an infusion with the first-ever exhibition by three Israeli artists to be held in Dubai later this month.

The Oblong Contemporary Art Gallery in Bluewaters Island will display works by three renowned artists, which will open on March 25 and be on display until May 20.

Oblong Gallery will be donating 10 per cent of the artwork sales to Emirates Red Crescent.

Gal-On is an 18-year-old photographer who uses his craft to capture images of subjects underwater. Gal-On is set to present 14 of his artworks in the exhibition in Dubai.

The gallery will also host works by Wertheimer, who has a 30-year career in painting and photography and has previously showcased her works at the Venice Biennale in 2019. She will be presenting three works from her ‘Jaffa Port Surface, 2014’ series in Dubai that combine layers of printed photography on canvas, painting and a razor that fixes them.

Rounding up the trio is Shpilsher, a visual artist who combines comics, modern and historic art, Judaica, consumerism, current event and folklore. She will showcase three paintings specifically created for the ‘Abyss of Bliss’ exhibition.
