Oblong Contemporary is holding the region's first Israeli art exhibition, where the 'Abyss of Bliss' will be open to public on the 25th of March, 2021.

In a bid to enrich Dubai’s burgeoning art scene ahead of Art Dubai, and for the first time in the region, three renowned Israeli artists Yinon Gal-On,  Keren Shpilsher and Areila Wertheimer will display their work for art enthusiasts in the UAE. The first Israeli exhibition ever organised in Dubai, in occasion of the peace agreement between the UAE and Israel, “Abyss of Bliss” reunites three artists who share a completely different relation with the concept of water. 

“When the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates was signed, I was very excited about the world of opportunities that opened up for the two nations. I didn’t imagine that in a few months I would present my photographs in a gallery in Dubai.”

Yinon Gal-On, photographer and artist 

As part of giving, Oblong Gallery will be donating 10% of the artwork sales to Emirates Red Crescent which is the United Arab Emirates affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to support women and children that are less fortunate, those affected and the people caring for those affected.
