My building in Dubai was very modern. Emaar and all that. Clean and simple lines ruled the architecture. Floor to ceiling windows which let in a lot of natural light.

It also meant that at night you could look up at the towers and identify which apartments were lived in by Arabs - from all the frilly curtains and fake French gilt chandeliers

I know a Syrian chap who told me decades ago locals used to fit small chandeliers in their cars - no idea if it's true but it seems so believable

Oo an art thread :-) isn't this a bit intellectual for this site?

Personally I am a fan of comtemporary art compared to the classics, art installations, print work, illustration and typography as well as photography and fashion (yes it counts as art) are my main interests and i love a good nude- I always used to do life drawing classes but there don't seem to be any here...

I was surprised by some of the art available in Lebanon, loads of local artists producing some beautiful work, as for the OP images shown- I'd say they are pretty much crap, reproduced for the masses, cheap knock it out and sell it cheap, painted with no passion or motivation other than making money, but if it evokes an emotional responce to the voyeur its doing its job- just not for me.
