Elements of Light | Dubai
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
JD Malat Gallery Dubai is proud to present Elements of Light, a landmark group exhibition bringing together thirteen distinguished artists whose practices have shaped the gallery’s 2025 programme. Spanning abstraction, figuration, conceptual minimalism, and sculptural form, the exhibition celebrates a year of artistic dialogue, international collaboration, and the diverse visual languages that have animated the gallery’s presence in Dubai.
Elements of Light reflects on illumination in its broadest sense – light as atmosphere, rhythm, memory, perception, and emotional charge. Across painting and sculpture, the works explore how light shapes material and mood: gliding across metal surfaces, expanding through chromatic fields, softening contours, or piercing through gestural marks. From minimalist structures to expressive gestures and luminous horizons, the exhibition forms a constellation of sensibilities that honours the multiplicity of contemporary practice while offering a moment of stillness at the close of the year.
