Lei e la Città – Exhibition by Sami Daher

locandina versione finale

You are cordially invited to the exhibition Lei e la Città (She and the City) by Sami Daher, a Beyruti architect and artist, Venetian by adoption

Opening
September 11th, 6:30pm

Italian Cultural Institute Abu Dhabi
RSVP: https://leielacitta.splashthat.com

The exhibition is a tribute to women and their role as beauty icons within the city-scape. The paintings showcase a sense of whimsical, using a mixed technique of watercolor, acrylic and sharp ink.
Women are at the focus of the paintings with architectural backgrounds of cities. In both Italian and Arabic, city is grammatically feminine. Therefore, these paintings are given feminine names.

Sami Daher studied architecture in the city of Venice and his artistic outlook took shape in Italy, a country to which he feels eternally grateful. He held solo exhibitions all over Italy, including Venice (1995), Milan (1996) and Florence (1998). Among others, in 1997 he transposed Mauro Adami’s haute couture bridal collection into paintings.

The exhibition will be open to the public until September 14th, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
