ART THAT MATTERS

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”– Andy Warhol.

Art is everywhere, influencing us daily whether or not we realize it. The ar t that we are encircled by, whether a painting, music, or perhaps a video can have an oversized impact on our mood and emotions. Every kind of ar t will have a control on us, making us feel happier, calmer, and sometimes inspire us to do something. Everywhere we go, ar t surrounds us; sculptures in public places, posters on walls offering information, music playing on the radio. Without realizing it we tend to discover that we are immersed at intervals in the ability of ar t most of the times!

We are excited to bring this edition of the magazine to you. We have artist stories from all across the globe along with a solo exhibition by Ken Kung in this edition. There is‘ Leadership Talks’ featuring H. E. Eng. Ali Abdulla Bin Towaih Al Suwaidi, Director General of Ajman Free Zone and ' Ar t of Business' featuring Mr. Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group along with an exclusive interview with Elijah Long, a producer, writer and actor.
