Saudi artist Rashed Al-Shashai inaugurated his solo art exhibition to coincide with the official launch of Shashai Studio during the blooming March art season.

Situated in the heart of the JAX art district in Diriyah, the “Night and a Thousand Nights” exhibition is a collage of feelings, emotions and life stories inspired by the period preceding the birth of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Each of the six pieces in the exhibition is laden with remnants of the past, as the artist utilizes existing materials, content and tools such as old wood, doors, windows, rugs and popular household items from the pre-vision era.

Artistic supervisor and curator Omar Al-Arifi told Arab News that “Night and a Thousand Nights” is the result of a fruitful meeting with Al-Shashai and a discussion about Saudi society following the launch of Vision 2030.

The show at Shashai Studio is expected to continue throughout the month of Ramadan until April, alongside a series of talks and sessions discussing topics and ideas put forth by the exhibition.
