BEBA EID HAMATI
Artist Statement:
I am always intrigued by human relationships, and how we view ourselves privately and in the light of the other. Underneath the layering of time and experiences, our true self is forever metamorphosing. Expressed in a series of transient moments, our body language and proximity to those around us is the only honest giveaway signal of our inner world. In my recent work I have built the surfaces by depositing, coating, dripping, digging and recoating layers upon layers of non-matching substances to create a unique stratum. The image becomes secondary as it spills out its content.
Artist Profile:
Beba Hamati holds a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, LAU, Lebanon 1979, and a City and Guilds of London institute certificate in Working Designs, Ceramic Skills, London, UK 1992. Holder of the Sheikh Zayed Fine Arts Award 1978, 1979, she has lived, taught and participated in group exhibitions in Beirut, Maidenhead, Singapore and Dubai, the last one being 'Five Artists Five Statements' Gallery 76, March 2008. Solo exhibits include 'Imprints' XVA Gallery, Dubai 2005, and 'Basamat' ALBA Beirut, Lebanon, 2006.

DIMA HAMATI
Artist Statement:
As designers our role is to visually communicate information to the viewer. Whether it is objective or subjective information, we practice old and execute new ways to send the message out through our own creativity. Design must have a reason for it to be successful, and that is exactly what I am working towards. I think we must use our artistry to fulfill the niches of the unknown and create new and inventive ways to fix the inefficient, spread the word and solve the problem.
Artist profile:
Dima Hamati is currently studying Graphic Design at Bath School of Art and Design in England.
NELDA GILLIAM
“My work is a metaphor for words. Words, which are verbal and written forms for self-expression, give us the ability to relate thoughts, feelings and ideas to one another. Words, language, are a creation from the human need to express the beyond, and our inner life. The works from my exhibitions are visual statements which stand as metaphors for stories from my imagination or for a state of mind there and then.”
VAL KWAAN
Val Kwaan trained in London in the 1960’s at Goldsmith’s College and Camberwell School of Arts and has lived in the Middle East for most of the last 37 years. In consequence she has been fortunate to ride the crest of the oil-driven development wave from the simplicity of traditional Arabian life to the unique powerhouse societies of today. It seems appropriate then that she should have something to say about her place and by extension the British place, in that transformation.
Her own family history, uncles & aunts in African Colonial Service and a husband victimized by Apartheid has given her reason to question the received wisdom about Britain’s Imperial past. The collection of painting on show in this exhibition are the product of those years of accumulated understanding, reflections on the unease of Empire of master and servant, of white and black, and the change that has informed the British view of the world that it once ruled.
