Dr Omar Abdulaziz commented on the exhibition, calling it a unique display of artists who are daring to experiment with new techniques. The works ranged from canvases immersed in the power of darkness to brilliant studies of colour contrasts, harmonic overlays, and rich visual layers, all of which indicated a shared search for individuality and artistic identity.
He emphasised that the club, as envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, continues to serve as a forum for Arab artists and intellectuals, providing them with opportunities, discourse, and encouragement.
Budoor Al Hosani used knife-painting to create abstract paintings that blended colours with architectural elements. Amina Al Ketbi leaned towards impressionism, utilising soft colours to evoke childhood memories of dolls, toys, mothers, and flowers. Latifa Al Ketbi turned to the sea and painted waterbirds poised over shimmering seas, creating subtle interplays of light, shadow, and reflection.
Noura Al Ali used painting and collage, using natural materials to create metaphorical "windows" into her paintings that hint at deeper inner worlds. Yasmin Al Khaja was a printmaker who created beautiful black-and-white compositions influenced by traditional Emirati garment patterns, featuring the veiled woman as a recurring figure. Amina Al Banna emphasised innocence and calm with images of a veiled girl surrounded by blooming greenery under skies promising rainfall.
The six artists, despite their diverse approaches and varying levels of competence, unite in their desire to establish personal styles and artistic identities. Their works represent the spirit of adventure.
