Dubai’s Sarah Ayoub Agha

Dubai is in a gorgeous position in the city’s history.  It’s one of the hottest spots for travelers, attracted by the lively night life, the splendid shopping malls, and the stunning beaches.  It is a most remarkable place with a fascinating and complicated history.  Presently, it is also in the middle of a creative boom, and art is absolutely flourishing here.  Not necessarily for the artists, but certainly for the public, where new work is abundant, and short-term projects for art expos have turned into standards in the international art calendars.  It’s a place that is accustomed to providing generous hospitality to visitors, and if you happen to be looking for a perfect 5-star Dubai hotel, then this is your lucky day.  We’ve selected some of the finest offerings so that you can be sure you are staying where there is a superior record of style and comfort.

You’ll be given the star treatment here, where stunning meals served by world-class chefs, state of the art exercise facilities, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff are here to help you find your favorite things in Dubai.  This is your adventure after all.  When the first days’ people watching and shopping are getting familiar, it’s a great time to start venturing into the cultural life of Dubai.  If you’re looking at the local galleries, you might come across the work of Sarah Ayoub Agha.  Her work is seen here and in the U.K., and is a great demonstration of some of the more bold works being created in Dubai.

Her subject is women, and particularly the representations and expectations that are placed upon women in the contemporary world.  Her work explores all the various roles that women are expected to play, and interrogates these notions with some very determined brush strokes. Educated here in Dubai, in Sharjah, and in London, Sarah Ayoub Agha is creating an impressive body of work.  While asking important social questions about gender, she is also developing a style of painting that falls away from realistic representations of women, and creates a new language with her paint.
