For an artist as renowned for politically-charged works as Shepard Fairey<\/a>, the conservative United Arab Emirates might seem like an unlikely place for a new gallery show.<\/div>\n
And yet the country’s glitziest city, Dubai, is precisely where the US contemporary artist — best known for the iconic Obama “Hope<\/a>” poster — is marking his first foray into the Middle East.<\/div>\n
Fairey’s first show in the region, “Future Mosaic,” opens on March 15 at Dubai’s Opera Gallery, and features 150 works — both newer pieces as well as iconic images and motifs from the artist’s greater oeuvre.<\/div>\n
