From 16 January to 1 March, the Taj Dubai is set to host a unique art exhibition celebrating the intersection of sport and artistic creativity.
Titled “Cricket’s Greatest Canvas”, the exhibition aims to capture the passion and spirit of cricket through the lens of renowned artist Paresh Maity. Presented by Art be a Part, in collaboration with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Gameplan, the exhibition showcases 12 original works inspired by the 2023 ICC Men’s World Cup.
Paresh Maity, a recipient of India’s prestigious “Padma Shri award”, is internationally acclaimed for his diverse artistic repertoire, which spans over four decades and includes 88 solo exhibitions worldwide. Renowned for his vibrant watercolours, expansive murals, and mixed media works, Maity’s signature style blends movement, emotion, and energy into vibrant, timeless canvases.
The exhibition will begin with an exclusive evening on 15 January, offering art collectors and cricket enthusiasts the unique opportunity to meet the artist himself, as they delve into the stories behind each painting, while also being given the opportunity to acquire these remarkable works. Following this private evening, the exhibition will open to the public from 16 January. The six-week exhibition will be hosted in the opulent surroundings of Taj Dubai, in the hotel’s ground floor pre-function area. It will be open to visitors from 10am to 10pm daily during its run.
