Many galleries in Kuwait feature the same artists. They showcase very similar pieces. You can start to feel like you are in the same place. Kuwait is an artistic and cultural hub for all of the GCC. Even with all that creativity the society tends to encourage people to do more of the same because that is what is popular at the moment.
So when someone comes along with something unique it is often times disregarded or exhibited with as little fanfare as possible. Later on when the current trends have died down people tend to take notice and what was once perceived, as ill fitting in the art scene then becomes all the rage and the cycle of imitation returns.
Many have grown weary of doing business in this way and only wish to break out and show that you can be truly unique while being accepted and appreciated. That is why Den Gallery located in Shuwaikh Market is so unique. It is a gallery created by artists for artists. They have regular workshops in all mediums from sculpture to painting and are even starting a book club.
Den Gallery is also hosting international artists from all over the GCC as well as having the visiting auteurs teach workshops. They are not content with just hosting GCC artists though. They are working tirelessly to bring in artists from as far as Brazil and Europe as well to teach and share their work.
This collective of 12 Kuwaiti artists are sharing all their techniques and doing their best to help build the fine arts scene in the country one piece at a time. So stop by and take a class, meet the artists or just appreciate the unique pieces available for viewing today.
