Set within the luxurious ambiance of Maison Luxe, “Showcase” transforms traditional showroom lighting into an art gallery. The soft glimmer of jewels provides an atmospheric backdrop to the paintings and photographs on display.
Art Meets Adornment
The exhibition explores the concept of adornment—how both jewelry and art (fashion photography and visual arts) serve as expressions of identity, culture, and individuality. Just as jewels add depth to personal style, the artworks on display reflect broader themes of self-expression and transformation. By bringing these two worlds together, Sabrina Catabelle suggests that art and jewelry share a common purpose: to capture moments of beauty and elevate them into lasting expressions of the self.
Highlights of the Exhibition
1. Paintings with gold leaves by Shazhad Hassan Ghazi
Two large-format paintings by Pakistani artist Shazhad explore the luminous qualities of gold. Using pen and gold leaves, these paintings mimic the refractive qualities of this precious metal. With canvases that seem to glow as if illuminated from within, these works celebrate the minimalism and mystique of lines in a painterly form.
2. Fashion photographs by Shiva Rasti
Feminine photographs within the exhibition echo the animal world with a butterfly, a horse and a bird. These photographs draw parallels between the natural world and the refined beauty of women, offering a beautiful exploration of raw elegance.
3. Mixed-Media Works by Kuteroff
Mixed-media installations in the exhibition explore the theme of perception, using sand and resin to create mesmerizing visual effects. By immersing viewers in these dynamic environments, the installations invite them to appreciate how perception shifts in response to texture and form.
Throughout the exhibition, Maison Luxe Dubai Mall will host talks where guests can engage with Shiva Rasti and Shazad Hassan Ghazi and jewelry experts from Maison Luxe. This event offers a chance to discuss the intersection of art and jewelry with industry experts. By hosting this exhibition, Sabrina Catabelle and Maison Luxe present jewelry as art and art as jewelry, illuminating how each shines in the presence of the other.
