LOVE celebrates its 2nd birthday
Emirati Artist Jamal HABROUSH AL SUWAIDI's sculpture wins hearts in DXB
While we all know that love comes in many forms and is capable of eliciting an incredibly intense and varied range of reactions from us, a public work by the Emirati artist Jamal Habroush Al Suwaidi named after this most intense of emotions appears to illustrate its power, beauty, and fragility.
“Love-Red” has been installed in 2018 and today celebrates its 2nd birthday. Love ranks among the artist’s most fascinating and iconic work, displaying elements that are contrasting, such as the choice of color, and unifying, like the use of letters, to create the delicately positioned, two-pronged form.
Al Suwaidi explained that the idea for the Love series first came to him in 2013, when he was traveling through the desert on a photographic expedition and spotted two Al Ghaf trees that were isolated, yet simultaneously a duo, seemingly with companionship and support. “I was inspired by the simplicity of nature in the desert,”he explained. “It occurred to me that love can be found throughout the universe and travels by true feelings…” “Love-Red” is located at Terminal 1, Concourse D, Dubai International Airport.
