Les peintures et les sculptures de deux artistes en exil mis à l'honneur par la galerie Regala à Arles

Ludovic Tomas, La Provence, 27 August 2026

La Provence published Ludovic Tomas's report on 27 August 2026 on La terre nous est étroite, an exhibition at Galerie Regala in Arles of work by Randa Maddah and Khaled Dawwa, two artists living in exile.

The title is taken from a poem by Mahmoud Darwish. The piece, in a regional French daily, is accompanied by a photograph of Julie Marletta of the gallery presenting a painting by Maddah, photographed by Valerie Farine. The show ran until 26 September 2026. The gallery in Dubai is not named; this is coverage of a French presentation of a current roster artist.

Tomas writes for a local readership in Provence, and the photograph places Maddah's painting in the gallery itself. The exhibition brought together painting and sculpture by two Syrian artists living away from home.

Tabari represents Randa Maddah, and has shown her work in Dubai, including Hanging Gardens, and in Afterglow at No.9 Cork Street.
