Dec 5 ‘Existence of Infinity’ exhibition:

Dar Al Funoon has the pleasure to invite you to an exhibition by Jean Marc Dallanegra “The Existence of Infinity”. The exhibition opens on Monday, Dec 5 at 7 pm in the presence of the artist. It continues through Dec 19, 2016.

After crossing the Sahara from north to south, walking for hours and days and with a mind as barren as the desert he traversed, Jean Marc Dallanegra had a sudden and intense sensation of the energy of the Earth. It was at this moment that he wanted to resonate that which appears to be empty; a journey from one place to another — where the road, the ground and the sky draw you in to the point of destinatio­n where everything conjoins at the horizon to become reality. As he says, “What pleases me most is the existence of infinity.”

Jean Marc Dallanegra comes from a family of Italian artists: They moved to France in 1985. After his studies, he travelled extensivel­y in the Sahara and along the west coast

of the USA. Since 1994, Dallanegra has shown his work at numerous exhibition­s in Europe, Lebanon and now, for the first time in Kuwait. Gallery hours: Sunday to Thursday: 10 am - 1 pm & 4-8 pm. Saturday: by appointmen­t. Getting to the gallery: AlWatiah, Behbehani Compound, House No 28. For further informatio­n call 22433183.
