Recognized as one of the most successful family-owned businesses in the UAE, the Al Fahim Group has inaugurated the region’s first art gallery-in-an-office concept at their headquarters in Mussafah.

Exhibiting Mr. Andrew Field’s collection of paintings as the debut, the paintings are for sale to all fans of art visiting business associates in the organization, guests of the Al Fahim family, customers and employees.

Mr. Rashed Abdul Jalil Al Fahim, Managing Director of the Group, said: “This unique project reflects the ethos of the Group. The building is externally and internally designed in a way that is unique to Mussafah and the UAE in general, bridging the gap between an austere business atmosphere and a poignant setting for visitors, customers and employees to admire fine arts by talented artists.”

“Being invited by The Al Fahim Group to display my works brings me tremendous pride and I am extremely grateful to the family and employees, in particular Ms. Hanadi Al Fahim, for presenting this wonderful opportunity. The Al Fahim Group’s commitment to offering a platform for the artistic community to showcase their work will enable art in Abu Dhabi to reflect who we are as a society, as individuals and as institutions because art can remind us of our collective heritage,” praised Mr. Field.

“The concept of a gallery-in-an-office grants artists a distinctive venue to display their pieces, while heartening emerging artists to widen their horizons,” added Mr. Al Fahim. “We are delighted to accommodate Mr. Field’s beautiful paintings and look forward to continue supporting devoted and innovative artists like himself.”

Mr. Field also held a lecture in Al Fahim Group where he discussed the launch of his new website, his life as an artist living in Abu Dhabi, the development of his work and explained his working methods including the processes and techniques involved. Mr. Field is a keen supporter of the arts in Abu Dhabi and in particular art education. He is also a secondary school Art Teacher at The British School Al Khubairat of Abu Dhabi.

Being one of the most established business houses in the UAE, Al Fahim Group has consistently contributed to promoting art in the UAE. As the illustrious group has leapt forward through its diversified portfolio, it has maintained the evolving UAE capital as its base and has done its best to create more opportunities for the community.
