Qatari artist Ahmed Nooh to step into Paris art scene

Qatar Museums’ (QM) Fire Station: Artist in Residence, an initiative designed to grow the next generation of artistic talent in Qatar, has announced that a sixth Qatari artist will be joining its prestigious Paris Residency Programme. 

As of August 15, Ahmed Nooh will be spending three months at the Cite Internationale Des Arts – one of the world’s most important art residencies, QM has said in a statement. Ahmed recently completed QM’s nine-month residency programme at the Fire Station, after which he joined 17 other artists in the recently opened ‘Dual Inspirations’ exhibition. His installation, ‘Traces of Life’, “stunned visitors with its thought-provoking commentary” on the abandonment of books. The exhibition is set to end on the October 1.Prior to that, Ahmed was a member of the Visual Arts Centre, where he experimented with various materials to create an abstract representation of his artistic vision. Completely devoted to his passion, he is also a member of the Souq Waqif Centre for Fine Arts as well as a member of the Katara Fine Arts Association.
