Japanese prints from the 1970s, reflecting on trends in contemporary art from that era, are being displayed at The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi

The travelling exhibition, titled Variation and Autonomy: The Prints of Contemporary Japanese Painters, is running until July 7 and comes as part of Abu Dhabi Festival. It celebrates 50 years of diplomatic ties between the UAE and Japan.

Curated by Kyoji Takizawa of the Machida City Museum of Graphic Arts in Tokyo, the exhibition presents the work of 10 contemporary artists who experimented with prints and expanded the range of expression within the medium.
