His Excellency Sheikh Saif bin Mohammed Al Shabibi, Minister of Housing inaugurated an art exhibition by the artist Ayuob Malang on Sunday at the Ministry of Housing.
The exhibition included (12) works of prominent landmarks in Muscat such as the old forts of Al Jalali and Al Mirani, the old Palace, Muttrah seashore, Soor Al Lawatia area, and other ancient landmarks of the city, which has undergone modern changes due to urban and housing developments.
HE praised the exhibition and noted that it covers an important point in time in the life of Omanis and residents of Muscat in particular as the artist was able to keep it in his works for the next generations, referring to the new layout of the city which has preserved its identity and the Ministry’s role in the urbanization of the city.
For his part, Ayoub Malang said that the exhibition comes as a result of attempts to document the important monuments of the old city through the art of “collage”, which combines painting and photography which gives new dimensions of space and time, as well as the presence of sea, mountains, forts and other features that characterize the city’s natural beauty.
