Adventure

Founded in 2005 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to create a focal point for women artists from the Gulf, Lahd Gallery soon became a well-known exhibition space representing exclusively MENASA (Middle East, North Africa, South Asia) contemporary art throughout the last decade. Artists are exposed to an international market using an online e-gallery, as well as yearly international pop venues, fairs and events all over the world. Anas Homsi’s process is all about spontaneity. Homsi feels most comfortable painting as freely as possible and allowing the audience to draw their own unique messages from the piece. His pieces have bursts of colour and wonderfully frantic strokes, making the artworks full of unbridled energy and inspiration. Homsi uses a process of layering to build up his paintings and to create beautiful depth and uses the atmosphere of memories as opposed to specific places or times to draw inspiration from.
