Sami & Martin: Sprit of a Place
A Place has no spirit. It is man鈥檚 spirit that is mirrored in the places he inhabits and the monuments he erects. The Empty Quarter Gallery is proud to be the first to exhibit the travelling body of work of two landscape photographers, Sami Nabeel & Martin Smith. The study of man鈥檚 spiritual beliefs as reflected in their places of worship from Islamic to Christian religions to Buddhist philosophy is the preoccupation of both artists as they travel the globe capturing the spiritual essence of each edifice with their lens.
Nabeel & Smith, make use of an extensive palette of tones to convey the ethereal nature of the human soul. 鈥淢an is not black and white but made up of millions of shades of grey鈥�, states Nabeel. The work itself emits a spiritual aura not a stark reality but a mysticism conveyed in tones of grey.
A gathering of selected pieces over a span of 15 years is on exhibit this month.
