Visual Therapy, online Kuwaiti-based art hub  brings creatives from around the world, organized its first show “Not Just A Pop-Up” featuring original works and prints by Brooklyn-based artist Zebadiah Keneally and Kuwaiti artist F160 alongside was a live art performance done by artist Monstariam who created a mural graffiti.

The event was originally one night, but because of the huge success and great turnout – although it is Ramadan – it extended for an extra day. It was quiet interesting to see a Kuwaiti emerging pop-art comparing to American one; having two points of views in one place with different backgrounds, cultures, lifestyle and surroundings… Both artists created something inspired & effected by these elements and at the same time were objects to sarcastic criticism.

“Not Just A Pop-Up” is a new flavor in Kuwait art scene which grabbed younger audience’s attention, very playful and hip… I did like Keneally’s work because they felt like black and white sketches from pop art magazine; while I know it is F160’s first exhibiting experience and the busting colorful canvases gained many people’s admiration, I can see his body of work developing and being more defined and specific in the future.
