Portico Art Gallery hosts an exhibition of artworks by the internationally renowned artist, Ali Mourabet.
Launching on the 14th September, Portico Art Gallery will, for the first time, host the beautiful works of Lebanese artist Ali Mourabet. Ali Mourabet’s imposing paintings use a vibrant colour palette. His use of saturated colours, especially in his sun-drenched faces of buildings and inviting beach scenes, give an endearing feeling of positivity.
Having had a successful career as an architect, spending much of his life in Beirut where he still resides, Mourabet often paints everyday locations from the city as he observes and depicts the buildings that surround his high-rise studio and immediate surrounding environment. In more recent paintings, he has begun to combine his love for geometric forms with more descriptive elements, creating distinctive landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes that sit somewhere between the abstract and the figurative.
Mourabet strives to bring the same sense of peace and nostalgia to the viewer that he feels when he creates each piece. He is continuously seeking to explore different styles and techniques, while at the same time remaining faithful to the subjects closest to his heart. Exhibitions of Ali's paintings have been both at home in Lebanon, as well as in France, the UK and the United States.
Recent group exhibitions in the UK have been in Brick Lane, London, at No Naked Walls Gallery, Guildford; Whitehouse Gallery, Scotland and MASA-UK, Manchester as well as Art Fairs such as Affordable Art Fair and Fresh Art.
