ArtKorero is proud to present British artist Debra Franses, also known as ArtBag. Having exhibited her work in cities around the world, the acclaimed creative brings her one-of-a-kind resin works, shaped like popular handbags, to Dubai for the first time. When confronted by an Artbag you are seeing a moment in time where seemingly random objects float motionless, encased in a transparent crystalline bag.
One-of-a-kind ArtBag Commissioned Exclusively for THAT to Encapsulate the Essence of Dubai Life - “When I was asked to make a bag about Dubai I took research from some of the most generous people and the result was simple and classy. A string of worry beads, a classic bottle of oud oil, a pair of sunglasses, a pen and key ring from the museum of the future to represent new world values. I added a simple key fob from a British luxury car brand and a wallet of folders notes. A lipstick to represent the voice of women and an old coin. I’ve been imagining this place for years. Captivated by the mysterious cultural differences and beauty of the desert.” - Debra Franses
