XVA Gallery

XVA Gallery Since the 2003 inauguration, heritage and history have merged to create a constantly evolving designer haven called the XVA Art Gallery.

The gallery is located in the heart of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, the oldest community in Dubai. Established in 2003, XVA is one of the leading galleries in the Middle East that specializes in contemporary art from the Arab world, Iran and the Subcontinent. Exhibitions focus on works by the regions foremost artists as well as those emerging onto the scene. The gallery’s artists express

their different cultural identities and perspectives while challenging the viewer to drop prejudices and borders. XVA Gallery exhibits both locally and internationally; collaborating with galleries and participating in international art fairs, such as Art Basel Hong Kong, SH Contemporary, Singapore Art Fair and Abu Dhabi Art in 2014, in order to further expose Middle Eastern contemporary art. XVA Gallery and XVA Art Hotel are located in Dubai’s heritage district, now called Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood. XVA founded and organized the Bastakiya Art Fair from 2007- 2010 as part of its commitment to raising the profile of contemporary art practice in Dubai. For three years XVA was located in DIFC, and has now expanded itself in Al Fahidi.

“I am fascinated by the weird and wonderful organic forms that are growing in the many coral reefs on the seabed. It’s home to such delicate, unexpected and diverse shapes of plants and animals. I want my work to reflect and pay homage to this fragile underwater landscape and hopefully draw attention to its value to all living beings.“

Rooted in the traditions of South Asian truck art, this work draws from geometric patterns, floral motifs, and cinematic imagery of the 20th century. It reflects the social and cultural shifts in Pakistan, turning popular visual culture into a bold expression of identity in the public sphere.

XVA x Five Spice Supper Club 🧧🐎

A full house and a table built for sharing. We welcomed the Year of the Red Horse with tea and Lunar New Year snacks on arrival, followed by a 10 course feast inspired by Chinese home dining.

Bold flavors, seasonal delicacies, and beautifully balanced dishes made it a night to remember. Thank you to everyone who joined us and celebrated with us.
