Dubai's renowned art gallery, ArtSpace, will organise an exhibition of the works of Lebanese artist Joe Kesrouani from January 21 to February 12, 2009 at its gallery in Dubai International Financial Center(DIFC).
The exhibition titled "No Illusions" showcases works that depict the insidious transformation of landscapes and its destruction in the name of "progress" and "technological advancement". Drawing attention to the environmental disaster that this has caused, the works ask critical questions about the future of mankind.
The landscapes pictured in Kesrouani's works present a dark vision of humanity's decline and destruction. By re-imagining technology, Joe Kesrouani transforms natural landscapes and visual planes into a futuristic composition. This facet of his work has developed in response to humankind's seeming refusal to acknowledge the permanent damage they are causing to their natural landscapes and the erosion of their sense of values.
