Relatively little known to audiences, the contemporary artistic mosaic
of MENA is still young. Several «moderns» have asserted themselves
there, now internationally recognized, and the young generation of
contemporary artists is among the most numerous on the international
art scene. This new generation is unparalleled in its richness and
diversity, its fertile ebullition, its languages which converge or
contradict each other, forming an unexpected mirror of the world ! At
the crossroads of Eastern and Western codes, a singular creative syntax
is taking shape before our eyes, conveyed in a potentially global way :
it’s a generational fact, amplified by this technological groundswell
that now connects all points of the planet in the moment » |

| This
new art fair with a confidential format offers an initiatory journey
through a demanding selection of more than sixty modern and
contemporary artists, most of whom are recognized in their respective
countries. The Southern and Eastern Mediterranean, the Levant and the Middle East are represented here by MENART FAIR, with artists from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Placed under the same latitudes, these countries look at the world with a view that evokes an identity: it is the same sun that nourishes a common sensibility, bathed in shadows and lights, enveloped in cold and heat, ablaze with colors and nuances. Unprecedented in the West, this first fair (face-to-face & on-line) exhibits artistic scenes that are sometimes unknown to European collectors and amateurs. It creates a dialogue between the different cultures of these regions, which are as rich as they are distinct from one another Through the selection of participating galleries, MENART FAIR highlights the fertility, uniqueness and originality of the artistic scenes of MENA, today supported by a number of renowned museums and institutions. The Routes of Art are called upon to lead us to these transversal and little-known lands... Between the Mediterranean Basin and the Tropic of Cancer, between the East and the West, this neo-continent is positioned in a unique way in the world. From north to south and from east to west, it has always been a gateway for people and the different cultures that abound there. Thus, this vast region, both geographically and historically, has benefited from an experience conducive to artistic creation and thought. |
