Dubai's Media One Hotel to host art exhibition

Dubai’s Media One Hotel will host an art exhibition titled ‘Our Abstract World’ by French artist Nirina Ralanto from January 14 to February 8, 2014.

The exhibition will be located in the hotel’s lobby area to encourage guests and visitors to explore the abstract pieces by Ralanto – the exhibition consists of 23 pieces of unique original works.

Commenting on the hotel’s association with Ralanto and her work, Media One Hotel general manager Mark Lee said: “Media One Hotel regularly opens its doors to renowned locally based artists in a bid to make art more accessible, allowing the public access to the artists’ great works 24/7, so they have no need to feel shy about entering the world of art galleries. Nirina’s works first came to our attention at the Abu Dhabi Art Hub Gallery in 2013. Her signature style and complement the contemporary setting of our hotel.”

Nirina Rolanto was first inspired as a child, watching her French grandfather paint and later continued practicing as a teenager in her mother’s framing store. She held her first exhibition in San Diego, USA and has painted more than 100 acrylic pieces over the last three years since moving to Abu Dhabi.
