Sunday (June 13)

Goan artist Arthur Dsouza will open a solo exhibition titled 'Pieces of Me' at 7.30pm at the Qal'at Al Bahrain Site Museum. Using a technique he refers to as positively paper, Arthur creates his artworks with positive film and coloured paper layered between two sheets of glass, one between the paper fragments and positive film and another on top. It also gives the works a special luminosity since the glass seems to trap light, while giving the piece something of a 3D effect. The event will be held until July 3 from 8am to 9pm daily. For more details contact the artist on 39623381 or email arthurthemonk@gmail.com
