The Power of Sculpture: Bahar Assar’s “ZERO ONE” Exibition at Picasso Gallery

This October, Dubai’s Picasso Gallery is set to host a remarkable exhibition, ZERO ONE, featuring the stunning bronze sculptures of renowned Iranian artist Bahar Assar. Known for her evocative storytelling through textured sculptures, Assar brings to life themes of human suffering, resilience, and collective memory.

The opening night, scheduled for October 10th, invites art lovers to experience the unique emotions captured in each of Assar’s pieces. From 6:30 to 8:30 pm, attendees will be immersed in an atmosphere where art becomes a dialogue between the artist and her audience, communicating through bronze figures that seem to whisper untold stories of the human condition.

Running from October 11th to 15th, the exhibition continues during gallery hours, offering viewers an intimate look at Assar’s work, which transcends mere artistic form. The sculptures explore the deep wounds left on humanity by conflict and tragedy, aiming to remind us of the scars we carry -individually and collectively - across years and even centuries. This theme is poignantly captured in Assar’s reflection:

You can’t even whisper silently and try not to forget the impact of those departed.
