The works on display range from black and white to shades of gray, unfolding into a broad spectrum of visual possibilities that place the viewer in a space between doubt and certainty. Hosted on the international art platform Artsy, the online exhibition offers audiences around the world the opportunity to interact with the artist Al Mulla's experience and learn about his artistic imprint. This exhibition is part of Al Markhiya Gallery's ongoing efforts to support Qatari artists, in addition to its commitment to promote Arab artists. By organizing such exhibitions, the gallery aims to showcase creative talents on global platforms, highlighting the richness and diversity of the Qatari and Arab art scene. Al Markhiya Gallery is regarded as a cornerstone of the cultural and artistic scene in Qatar and the Gulf region, contributing to enriching the visual arts movement, fostering cultural development, and promoting Qatari and Arab art both locally and internationally through exhibitions and international participations.

Al Markhiya Gallery is preparing to launch a new group exhibition titled “Reshaped” at the Fire Station - Artists’ Residence, on Tuesday evening, August 26, from 7 to 9pm, with the participation of a select group of Qatari and Arab artists currently working in Qatar.The exhibition brings together the works of more than twenty-five artists.In this context, Anas Qutait, art co-ordinator of Al Markhiya Gallery, said: “Through this exhibition, we are keen to present diverse artistic experiences that reflect the richness of the Arab art scene in Qatar. We emphasise the importance of materials as a partner in the creative process. The diversity of participants and their various styles give the exhibition an aesthetic and cognitive dimension that enriches the audience’s experience and exposes them to new interpretations of contemporary art.” Qutait added that the exhibition offers the public a unique opportunity to view a wide and diverse collection of artworks that reflect the spirit of experimentation and innovation among the participating artists, where materials and styles intertwine to create an integrated sensory and intellectual experience.The exhibition also provides an opportunity for visitors to interact directly with the works and explore the way each artist approaches both materials and ideas, making each painting, sculpture, or installation a unique experience that engages the senses and provokes thought.Through this diversity, the exhibition transforms into a vibrant space for contemplation and exploration, allowing the audience to experience art from a different perspective and brings them closer to understanding the depth of the creative process and the nature of the relationship between the artists and their material.This makes “Reshaped” an important addition to the cultural and artistic scene in Doha. At its core, the exhibition presents an artistic contemplation of the relationship between material, meaning, and transformation.“Reshaped” is part of Al Markhiya Gallery’s ongoing efforts to support Arab artists and highlight their experiences, while also consolidating Doha’s position as a prominent cultural destination hosting the most prominent art events in the region.
