Local artist Mahra AlFalahi joins forces with COYA
On Wednesday 4th September, COYA Abu Dhabi will host the opening of an exciting new art exhibition entitled The Evolution, by the promising Emirati artist Mahra AlFalahi.
Mahra AlFalahi is one of the UAE’s most exciting young artists. Based in Abu Dhabi, Mahra graduated with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the College of Fine Arts and Design in Sharjah University.
COYA invites the capital’s art lovers to join them between 7-9pm on 4th September for this exhibition opening, where they can meet the artist in person and enjoy her eye-catching, underwater-themed pieces while sampling delicious mocktails, curated specially for the exhibition opening.
For those guests wishing to extend their evening, COYA encourages them to head downstairs to the Pisco Bar & Lounge or Dining Room, where they can enjoy the city’s finest Peruvian cuisine and atmosphere.
Art lovers and COYA fans alike will marvel at the exhibition’s unusual pieces, which Mahra welcomes guests to touch and feel, as she believes it’s important for her audience to have a full experience of her creations. The roots of the exhibition lie in Mahra’s exploration of creating a utopian world through her installations. Mahra uses fabric sculptures with semi-transparent materials, as she’s interested in the shadows her pieces create and the way they affect the space surrounding the installation.
Mahra’s unique pieces will also feature at COYA’s famous La Noche Blanca party on 20thSeptember, where guests are encouraged to wear white and will be swept away by a magical, mystical underwater world.
