As part of the FAME: Andy Warhol in ALUla exhibition at Maraya, I am honored to join renowned artist Hassan Hajjaj as a guest artist in the Pop Art Arabia showcase. Embracing the vibrant spirit and philosophy of Andy Warhol, our collaboration celebrates the fusion of contemporary Middle Eastern culture with iconic pop art influences.
Hassan Hajjaj will be uniquely engaging with the audience by setting up his studio outdoors at Madrasat Addeera. There, he will offer complimentary portrait sessions to VIP guests, capturing their essence through his distinctive artistic lens. This interactive experience not only honors Warhol’s legacy of accessibility and celebrity culture but also highlights the dynamic creativity thriving in ALUla.
Together, we look forward to bringing a fresh, magnetic energy to the exhibition—blending tradition, innovation, and the colorful pulse of pop art in a way that resonates deeply with today's audience.
