Ronald Dupont is master of the urban landscape. With unique style he captures the very essence of the sprawling metropolis that makes up the backdrop of modern life in the city.

‘The Ultimate City’ is a snap shot of Dubai in 2014.  Portraits of a city in the making.  These canvasses document the building of an iconic city and the people behind it,  the myriad of nationalities that go into making present day Dubai.
These arresting works on first appearance have a photographic quality, at a second glance one is aware that these are oil paintings created with extraordinary skill. The artist uses acutely selected detail to capture the moment.  The combination of traditional painting, contemporary style and subject matter is Ronald Dupont’s signature at which he excels.
  Ronald Dupont was born in 1961 in Belgium where he still lives and works today.

His work features in numerous private, public and corporate collections.
He has  exhibited worldwide for the last 20 years. including Galerie Artima, Gallery Roy Sfeir (Paris), Stephanie Hoppen (London), Absolute Art Gallery, Contrast Gallery (Belgium) Leonhards Gallery (Antwerp),Waltman Ortega Gallery, Miami (USA)  Art New York, Art Fair Palm Springs,  and  Simma Gallery (Beirut).

Christmas Ideas & Deals

Dubai | Some Christmas present ideas for children

Leave a comment

I know that Christmas feels a long way off, but is it?  It is just 8 weeks away, and it is time for me to pick up a few things to get them packed and shipped over to Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK for family, friends’ children and Godchildren.   I have learnt my lesson never to leave all of my Christmas shopping until the last minute again.  My credit card, for one, can’t take all the expenses at once.

If you are determined to be more organised this year, Babysouk.com has now added two unique brands to their already wide range of children’s items.

Oobi

Oobi, the award winning boutique brand from Sydney for childrenswear and accessories, was added to Babysouk.com’s new range this autumn.  Oobi’s design philosophy is to allow children to be children.  To see their new collection please visit Oobi.

PAPINEE Animalia

If you are looking for something unique, the PAPINEE Animalia collections are ranges of beautifully crafted accessories and toys, with a strong focus on children. They ignite creative development, to spark enthusiasm and education in the beauty of art, the world, and playful learning.

Animalia is the first series from PAPINEE…from the Deers of New York inspired by Basquiat, the Chrysler building and underground NYC graffiti; to the Monkeys of Mexico created with historical hieroglyphics from the Aztec and Mayan civilization; PAPINEE Animalia is born from a deep respect and love of the animal kingdom coupled with contemporary art and rich & exciting moments from history.
