STEMS GALLERY GROUP EXHIBITION
Date : January 18-30, 2024
Location : Volery Gallery, Dubai, UAE
From the 18th to the 30th, Volery Gallery (Dubai) and Stems Gallery (Brussels) are joining together in Dubai to present “Higher Than The Sun 2: A Continual Journey”. It is a sequel exhibition that will continue to explore the serene and introspective themes that captivated audiences previously with a new selection of contemporary artists including Cody Brown, Nick Doyle, Liz Markus, Shaina McCoy, Luisi Mera, Olivier Souffrant, and Aryo Toh Djojo.
This exhibition delves deeper into the moments of tranquil bliss and personal epiphanies. It will not only offer viewers a visual feast but also an emotional journey and an artistic meditation.
Viewers will be able to immerse themselves in a world where time stands still, and the soul soars high, where peace and joy can be found in the present, unburdened by the shadows of yesterday or the uncertainties of tomorrow.
Each piece is a testament to the notion that peace and contentment can be found in the simplest of moments.
