"O" Exhibition
We can only say that we are proud to have supported all the artists that were part of "O" the exhibition. There is a lot of talent in our region all of which should be nourished and cherished. HRH Prince Saud bin Khalid AlFaisal, son of the Governor of Mecca, showed his support of the exhibition's young artists by opening the exhibition and talking to the artists. Director of New York's Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and the director of the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA) showed their support by visting "O" pre-opning night and admiring the work. Art curators, established Saudi artists, CEOs, Ambassadors and their wives, and so many more including a lot of young students and art enthusiasts stopped by. The L'Art Pur gallery was a great modern backdrop to highlight the bright young talent. And, last but not least, every person who volunteered, attended, sponsored and supported what Oasis is about, which is to link people together and highlight a great community of talented individuals, added all that much to the success of "O".
The artists were: Abdalrhman Abujabal, Abeer Mahmoud, Ahmad Gusti, Ala Ahmed, Amal Saud, Budoor Al-Rajhi, Carl Willoughby, Corinne Martin, Huda Beydoun, Ilham El hattan, Israa Garatli, Khalid Al-Ghamdi, Leena Koshak, Lina Arkoobi, Mohammad Arkoobi, Monira Al- Banyan, Neama AlSudairy, Norah Mukhtar, Nouf Beydoun, Noura Bouzo, Rania Razek, Reema Al-Harbi, Safi Jamlallail, Samah al -Rajhi, Shahad Serafi, Sulafa Hefzi, Sulafa Kurdi, Talal al -Zeid. Each artist had a completely different style.

Between them, the artists combined mixed media, painting, digital painting, digital artwork, photography, and stop-motion animation.
