The exhibition Between the Lines showcases the emergence of Emirati pop culture, where diverse influences merge into vibrant forms of self-expression. Through the works of 18 Emirati illustrators, the exhibition explores modern creative identities, offering a glimpse into the evolving artistic landscape of the United Arab Emirates.
The exhibition explores the balance between technical precision and conceptual creativity, using the concept of lines as both frameworks and constraints.
Lines, as design elements, can either facilitate communication by creating shapes and forms or impose limits by encapsulating and defining such shapes. In this sense, lines can represent both artistic freedom and boundaries. Within these limitations, true expression thrives in the spaces between the lines.
Each comic or illustration gives voice to what lies beyond the visible, offering insights into the dimensions of personal symbols.
