Hunna Art and Bayt AlMamzar Present Reem R.’s Debut Solo Exhibition: lilies
[Dubai, UAE – December 2024] – Hunna Art, in collaboration with Bayt AlMamzar, is honored to announce ‘lilies,’ the debut solo exhibition of Palestinian artist Reem R. (b. 1995). Running from December 13, 2024, to January 5, 2025, at Bayt AlMamzar in Dubai, this highly anticipated exhibition presents a multilayered body of work that interrogates the interplay between beauty, memory, and resistance.
With ‘lilies,’ Reem R. transforms her canvases into spaces of poetic inquiry, where the symbolic beauty of lilies dissolves into "lies," challenging viewers to confront illusions within imagery and narratives. Drawing on her personal experiences and the collective memory of Palestine, her works explore themes of nostalgia, identity, and resilience through hyperreal oil paintings that constantly blur the boundaries of reality and illusion.
‘lilies’ is a poetic act of resistance, where beauty becomes a mirror reflecting not just what is seen, but what is hidden. Reem R. challenges us to look beyond the surface, to question the authenticity of what we see and believe. Her paintings are not just invitations; they are demands—to remember, to reckon, and to resist forgetting.
Reem R. is a Palestinian visual artist whose work is inspired and influenced by daily observations, human interactions, personal experiences, and memories. Contrasting vivid color palettes and carefully-composed artworks capture the essence of her inner world, intertwining personal symbols with cultural references. Reem creates visual riddles that invite the viewers to engage their own imagination to decipher their meanings and come up with their own interpretations.
Reem R. received a Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Design at the American University of Sharjah (UAE) in 2017. Her work has been exhibited in the Arabian Peninsula, notably in Qatar and in the UAE, and internationally (Croatia, France, Morocco, South Africa, and Spain).
The exhibition will officially open on December 13, 2024, from 6 to 9 PM, and will run until January 5, 2025, at Bayt AlMamzar.
