Elmarsa Gallery is pleased to present Art on Paper, showcasing a broad range of modern and contemporary art from the gallery’s collection, in which the use of paper as a surface is the primary consideration. Art on paper includes selected paintings, prints and drawings made on fine art paper, newspaper and cardboard by established Arab artists using a variety of media, including pen, ink, watercolor, acrylic and gouache. Through their diversity both in style and materials, this selection of works not only allows to address various aesthetic expressions, but also to examine methods and topics used by artists across the Arab world, spanning the period from the 1940s to the present day.Elmarsa Gallery is pleased to present Art on paper, showcasing a broad range of modern and contemporary art from the gallery’s collection, in which the use of paper as a surface is the primary consideration.
