  • We wanted this type of art to be experienced by our Saudi community: exhibition manager

JEDDAH: Athr gallery brought to Jeddah for the first time a unique art exhibition at the Serafi Mega Mall.

The show titled, “Through the spectrum,” displayed the artworks of six international artists including two Saudis, Ahmad Matir and Nasser Al-Salem.

Each artwork treated light in a different way, allowing the visitors to indulge in light through several variables and configurations. These photovoltaic compositions transcended concrete barriers, allowing them to influence the visitors.

Afia Bintalib, the exhibition manager for Athr, told Arab News: “We wanted this type of art to be experienced by our Saudi community so they could be influenced by and immersed in art through many different aspects.”
