I went to Dar Al Funoon the other day to an exhibition by Bahrini artist Abdul Rahim Sharif. He has been selected as one of Christies leading artist and also will be featured in the “Word into Art” exhibition organized by the British Museum. The exhibition featured a range of Sharif's huge and colourful oil paintings on canvas, which I was wowed by. My fave would be the three colourful flower vases. They're about 120x140 each so that means you're gonna need a huuuuge wall if you want to display the three of them next to each other. And they range between KD 6,250 and KD 5,700. The event will be on until November 18th.
