Aisha Alabbar Gallery is currently presenting The Scent of Memories (Sept. 13 — Nov. 2), Emirati artist Najat Makki’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Makki is a pioneer personality in the art community of the Emirates, and her insights into the relationship between colour and the memories associated with specific places, have significantly enriched the depth and diversity of her artistic expression no less than the art ecology of the UAE. In this new body of work, Makki layers colours on top of one another to create intense sensory experiences.
