We chose the Nūn to represent our gallery because of its complex meaning in the Sufi tradition as well as in the ancient Egyptian mythology. If you like to know more about the Nūn — artist Brian Flynn, who also designed our logo, wrote an enlightening article for us: "The Meaning of Nūn".

Double Exhibition "In the Picture" with Paintings by Abdullah Ali Butler and Sculptures by Mahmoud Mokhtar

It was not just an exhibition. During a preceding 6-day art event, Abdullah Ali Butler made a painting into which you may climb. The title is In the Picture because you actually can be inside this painting. Abdullah's co-exhibitor Mahmoud Mokhtar created a guardian sculpture for this piece. Besides that, there are many more works to see including a new series called My Tomb Paintings, which draws from the Book of the Dead. The exhibition was opened on 17 December 2021 and is on display until 10 January 2022.
