Harbour Gate presents a new exhibition under its popular series Art at the Harbour . The fifth edition of the year features artist Ameena Al Aidi with the art display Scent of the Past . Ameena Al Aidi is a Bahraini artist from Muharraq. Her work is inspired by the Bahraini heritage from old houses and doors to souqs shops dhows and the seashore. I draw inspiration for my paintings from the world around me and the local Bahraini everyday life. I love including vibrant colours in my work as they convey happiness and bring a smile to whoever is looking at them says Ameena. Ameena gravitate towards realistic paintings and also includes her own style that doesn t belong to any particular style of art in some of her work. She chooses different styles to suit the painting and the story behind it. In some of her work she also includes Arabic calligraphy to reflect the association of language to heritage. She adds I learned the basics of oil painting under the mentorship of artist and calligrapher Fuad Mandi. He supervised my work and gave me constant encouragement and advice that made me want to keep going forward in this field. It was because of his guidance that I had my first exhibition From Bahrain at Harbour Gate in 2017 and 2018. After graduating Ameena studied Educational Arts at the University of Bahrain. She completed a course in the basics of acrylics at the Bahrain Arts Society as well as a course in Arabic calligraphy. In 2013 she participated in Nasser Bin Hamad International Youth Creativity Award and won the 3rd place. She also participated in several exhibitions in Bahrain Saudi Arabia and Oman.

Harbour Gate continues with its successful art exhibition Art at the Harbour . The fourth edition of the year features Indian artist Anil Sharma with the art display Bahrain Boulevard . The exhibition was opened by His Excellency Roderick Drummond British Ambassador to Bahrain and showcases the modern and traditional landscapes of Bahrain from dhow harbours to skyscrapers. Arriving in Bahrain in 2018 I was immediately struck by the similarities and contrasts with India. On the one hand each country has its unique vibrant culture and distinctive traditions that infuse the very fabric of their landscapes. On the other hand both have constantly changing landscapes that for centuries remained essentially unchanged yet today are developing at such a rapid pace that they are unrecognisable to the generation before says Anil Sharma. For as long as he can remember Anil Sharma has been fascinated by landscapes and the interplay between nature and the built environment. More often than not Anil can be found with a paintbrush in hand on a seemingly uninspiring street corner or crouched at a seldom visited waterfront capturing in watercolour the beauty he sees before him a beauty that many may walk past without a second glance. While other subject matter portraiture and still life are something he also enjoys the complex relationship between the human and natural world is a constant source of inspiration for Anil pushing the boundaries of his use of colour and light to create visual impact and capture the essence of ever changing land and seascapes. He continues: Increasingly I am drawn to study the interface between the ancient and modern in Bahrain. For example we see skyscrapers making bold dramatic statements across natural seascapes that predictably change with the ebb and flow of the tide while a traditional dhow cuts a strikingly small yet powerful image as it gently traverses a scene. As I explore the island on foot with my paints always close by I am motivated to capture these images on canvas as a time capsule of the then juxtaposed with the now I have come to adore these Bahraini Boulevards which form the basis of this exhibition. Anil brings an extensive mastery of colour theory innate sense of rhythm and compositional elements to each painting. His palette is innovative and complex. His work features an array of resplendent light and vivid colours. He has developed a unique method for emphasizing the fluidity of transparent colour and uses this technique to reinforce his special vision of natural rhythms. With more than 25 years of experience Anil is mentor and coach for artists of all ages locally helping them to achieve their fullest potential. He believes strongly in the power of beauty to enhance our quality of life; he feels that art is not a luxury but a necessity that should be accessible to all. The Art at the Harbour series runs in its fifth year at Harbour Gate. Bahrain Boulevard is the 47 th exhibition under the umbrella of this series. It is on display till August 12 and located on the ground floor at Harbour Gate within Bahrain Financial Harbour easily accessible from King Faisal Highway. Visitor parking is available.
