Firetti Contemporary announced an exclusive event in collaboration with the historic glassmaking firm Moser, founded in 1857 by the talented glassmaker Ludwig Moser. This company, guided by generations of secret knowledge, creates perfectly cut works of art adorned with flawless engraving. Even today, Moser's masterpieces are crafted by the hands of master craftsmen without the use of automated machines, preserving the artisanal integrity that has defined the brand for over a century and a half.
This collaboration with Firetti Contemporary celebrates and supports art and creativity in the UAE. Moser will present a selection of exclusive pieces inspired by the artworks of local artist Salmah Al Mansoori. This limited edition of glass works features Salmah's acclaimed series "I Reminisce in Colours," which delves into the diverse landscapes of Ghayathi. The series' paintings will also be on view during the event. From the expansive desert to the evolving urban environment, Salmah's work captures the essence of the city that has profoundly shaped her identity.
Through her paintings, Salmah finds solace and healing, expressing her experiences and emotions through intricate mark-making and layers of color. Each stroke represents a fragment of her journey and a reflection of the places and spaces that hold significance in her life.
The collaboration between Moser and Salmah Al Mansoori brings together the timeless elegance of hand-cut glass and the vibrant storytelling of contemporary art. Guests will have the unique opportunity to witness these exquisite pieces firsthand and explore the artistic dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and modern artistic expression. The exhibition is on display at Firetti Contemporary, Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, from June 22nd to July 4th, 2024.
