JD Malat Gallery Dubai presents Elements of Light, a landmark group exhibition bringing together thirteen distinguished artists whose practices have shaped the gallery’s 2025 programme. Spanning abstraction, figuration, conceptual minimalism, and sculptural form, the exhibition celebrates a year of artistic dialogue, international collaboration, and the diverse visual languages that have animated the gallery’s presence in Dubai.

Elements of Light reflects on illumination in its broadest sense – light as atmosphere, rhythm, memory, perception, and emotional charge. Across painting and sculpture, the works explore how light shapes material and mood: gliding across metal surfaces, expanding through chromatic fields, softening contours, or piercing through gestural marks. From minimalist structures to expressive gestures and luminous horizons, the exhibition forms a constellation of sensibilities that honours the multiplicity of contemporary practice while offering a moment of stillness at the close of the year.

The exhibition features work by Casper Brindle, Santiago Parra, Katrin Fridriks, Zhang Ji, Masayoshi Nojo, Gary Lang, Conrad Jon Godly, Andy Moses, Ed Moses, RETNA, Richard Hudson, Sophie-Yen Bretez and Tim Kent. Though diverse in gesture, geography, and medium, each artist contributes to a shared meditation on how art captures the fleeting, the atmospheric, and the ineffable.
