Meticulously painted walls of vivid graffiti are conquering the streets of Dubai. Artists today have thrown away the easels and brushes and are using spray cans to redecorate the city. Enticing the world with vibrant canvases, Dubai offers a unique experience at its Street Art Gallery.
An art that goes beyond graffiti
The partner of this amazing artistic venture, Thomas Perreaux-Forest established the Street Art Gallery in the more salubrious corners of the city. Although the gallery is located in a country primarily devoid of graffiti, it is attracting a number of enthusiastic buyers of spray-can artwork.
Visiting the gallery
The gallery is located within easy reach of 5 star resorts in Dubai including options such as Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort. Attracting many visiting the emirate, the gallery displays about 100 pieces of art at its exhibitions.
Sharing street-art passion
Appealing to the buzzing art scene in Dubai, fellow founders, Perreaux-Forest and Stephane Valici recently held the gallery’s third exhibition named “Be The Change”. The exhibition featured rather direct examples of street art and much-loved graffiti some of which experienced some protest from the public.
Joining hands with the pros
The fame of the gallery has welcomed other street art stars in the world such as the Parisian veterans Nasty and OneMizer who excels at everything from comic-style work to portraits.
