Dubai-based art gallery, Art Space will showcase an innovative selection of works by the Pakistani artist Amin Gulgee at an exhibition titled ‘Looking for the Magic Centre’ from 25 February to 12 March, 2009. The event will be sponsored by the investment bank Arqaam Capital.
Amin Gulgee‘s works use traditional forms, drawn from Islamic art, to create thoroughly modern sculptural works in metal. Inspired by the varied and rich spiritual history of his native Pakistan, his work ranges from the purely abstract to creations inspired by Hindu mythology, Buddhist civilisation and Islamic calligraphy. Although diverse, these directions influence and nourish one another for they all attempt to depict the spirituality of man.
