MUSCAT: ‘Re Sepia’, a photography exhibition by Yousef Al Jabri, was unveiled on January 25, 2016 at Gallery Sarah in Bait Al Zubair.
Yousef bin Salam Al Jabri started using the medium of photography in 2008.
He trained as a photographer and a videographer in the Seventh Dimension Production Institution, participating in several courses, exhibitions and workshops related to photography and art.
Yousef is a photographer who has a deep artistic dimension to his personality. He sees images from several angles and beautifies the nature around him with his insightful touches to create his own world. Yousef’s work moves beyond typical photography to express his thoughts and is influenced by surrealism and portrayal of natural scenes.
‘Re Sepia’ is the conclusion to experiments carried out by Yousef Al Jabri.
Through these photographic experiments, he restructures sepia colours through gradations of brown and neutral colours to create forms that draw viewers in.
Located in the historical section of Old Muscat and part of the Bait Al Zubair Museum complex, Gallery Sarah is a contemporary art gallery that opened its doors in 2013.
The gallery exhibits artworks including, but not limited to, paintings, graphics, calligraphy, installations, sculpture and photography.
Apart from trying to create a strong connection between established and emerging Omani artists and the international art world, Gallery Sarah also supports and has an appreciation for work by a wide variety of talented Arab artists from around the Gulf and international artists.
