The book examines how artists from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates developed modern visual languages deeply rooted in their cultural and environmental contexts. Organized around five central themes - cultural heritage, maritime life, resilience, abstraction, and material experimentation - it reconsiders the foundations of modern art in the Gulf, revealing the region’s creativity, continuity, and shared identity. Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Misk Art Institute, Prince Faisal bin Fahd Arts Hall, Riyadh (2025), the volume offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of artistic modernity across the Arabian Peninsula.
