Robbie Williams and Ed Godrich debut art exhibition

Sotheby’s Dubai is hosting a solo exhibition of paintings by Robbie Williams and his creative partner, Ed Godrich. Under the name Williams Godrich, the exhibition – titled ‘Black and White Paintings II’ – features 15 never-before-seen monochrome paintings.

The exhibition was unveiled in the DIFC on November 29 in the presence of the artists. Among the guests was Hala Badri, Director General of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.

A partnership built on, in their own words, “friendship, communication, respect and trust”, Robbie and Ed bonded over a love of abstract art, as well as music, which encouraged them to create together as an artist duo. In five years, they have created works with an aesthetic deeply rooted in a nostalgia for the 1990s music scene: vibrant, euphoric and pulsating with life.

“We are thrilled to be hosting ‘Williams Godrich’ for their first exhibition in the Middle East. The UAE has a thriving art scene, and through their many years of collaborative artistic expression, Robbie and Ed encapsulate the spirit of creativity that is blossoming here,” said Katia Nounou Boueiz, Head of Sotheby’s UAE.

The exhibition will be open from Monday to Thursday 10am-6pm; Friday 10am-2pm and Saturday-Sunday 11am-3pm.
