After six days of learning how to construct a painting with master artist Petro Bevza from Ukraine, the students of the artist’s masterclass are enjoying a pop-up exhibition in The Galleria at Nation Towers in Abu Dhabi. The students all signed up for the class before Bevza arrived in the UAE for his first solo show in the region and spent many hours trying to learn about technique, colour palettes and layering.
Devi Seetharam, one of the students, says that Bevza had “amazing techniques” to share and was a great teacher. “He started with simple steps in how to understand colour and then moved on to layering, composition, balancing and completing our works. The best part was how aware he was that he was pushing our limits,” she says.
It is rare that any artists coming to the UAE to exhibit, give tuition in their art and
Gabrielle Cormier, another of the students, says that the experience was invaluable.
“I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with such accomplusehhd and gifted artists,” she says. “N2N is a wonderful addition to the art scene here.”
The art works that the students completed under Bevza’s guidance are only on display in The Galleria until the end of the week, so make sure you go down to see them.
