Art Dubai 2026

Adel Abidin, Daniel Genadry, Ali Kaeini, and Katya Muromtseva are brought together through a shared engagement with memory, displacement, and the fragile relationship between object, landscape, and time. Each artist approaches material and form as a way to navigate the unstable boundaries between personal and collective histories, presence and absence, and reality and its reconstruction.

At the core of the presentation lies painting. Yet here, painting no longer operates as a classical window onto the world, but rather as a site of experimentation. Across the booth, it becomes a space for testing optics, materiality, and the speed of perception, as well as for rethinking how painting as a medium can be constructed and experienced today.

In the hands of these artists, the painterly gesture shifts from representation to process. It functions as an interface, an algorithm, a method of pursuing images that continuously dissolve and re-emerge within contemporary visual flows.
