Swiss Art Gate U.A.E., and the Government of Sharjah Department of Culture and Information are presenting the 17th edition of Crossroads, a series of art exhibitions in the Light Box Gallery in the Marina Wing of the iconic Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, under the patronage of the Swiss Embassy.
"Crossroads #17 - Fluid Dynamics" will display photographs on paper by acclaimed Swiss artist, Fabian Oefner, when the exhibition opens on the 28th October. The photo exhibition runs until 14th February 2015.
In the past, Oefner has used the basic scientific principles of centrifugal force, magnetic fields, and opposing chemical compound mixing (e.g. oil versus water) to create his work. "Being an artist, for me, means understanding the world more clearly," Oefner explained. With an impressive resume that boasts scientist, photographer, and artist as occupations, it's clear that his mind functions with precise strokes, able to use equal parts method and creativity to produce his work. Fabian's work is all about a system of trial and error - not unlike that of a chemist's search for the precise formula - and how one perfect shot can often be the fruit of literally thousands of mis-steps.
Crossroads is a row of art exhibitions at Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi and its aim is to make art accessible to everyone who walks into a public place, as well as to showcase the work of local Emirati, expat and international artists. Crossroads is a series of art exhibitions, initiated and organised by Swiss Art Gate U.A.E. and organised in collaboration with Yas Viceroy, Abu Dhabi.
