By Light by artist Anthony James at Opera Gallery, Dubai
Inspired by the Arabic word Noor that means light, British American artist Anthony James brings a collection of his illuminated geometrical installations to Opera Gallery, Dubai. The exhibition that opens on February 23rd, 2023 showcases large scale installations and sculptures displaying the artist’s ability to turn ancient geometric forms into futuristic totems.
Titled Light, the exhibition offers art connoisseurs a journey through the artist’s imaginative world, rooted in exploring the intermingling of light and space. One of the only living artists with sculptures on display in all seven continents, including Antarctica, James’ signature sculptures are a maze of mirrors and reflections that create a mystical effect for viewers.
Some of his stunning pieces on display include Dodecahedron, Bullet Panel, Rain and Pyramid. Born in 1974 in England, James studied at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London and is now based in Los Angeles. His work veers towards minimalism, materiality, alchemy with great emphasis on light and space.
