Be the first to comment 24 September 2012
This isn’t the first time that intenational street art masters have been exhibited in Dubai. But what’s different about new show ‘Street Art’, running at Opera Gallery until Wednesday October 24, is its appreciation of
Middle Eastern involvement in the urban art scene. Iranian graffiti artist Mohammad Khodashenas features alongside well-known forefathers of the movement, including American artist Seen, aka Richard ‘Richie’ Mirando, and French pioneers Paul Alexis, Blek Le Rat and Charles Munka. We reveal more about a selection of the artists and their works, as well as why you should check out the 18-piece exhibition.
