Infinite Cities

A solo exhibition hosted by Shashai Studio in JAX District, Riyadh in January 2024

Hussain Alismail visits various coffee shops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to observe the ongoing cultural changes and discover a unique and distinct civilization character. Despite the expansion and diversity of urban areas, coffee shops remain ubiquitous.

As an artist, he portrays more than one hundred cafes in his paintings, showcasing vibrant personalities and lively sceneries that capture the new coffee culture and its harmonizing effect on society.

Hussain embarks on a marathon-like exploration from Alahsa, Dammam, and Khobar to Riyadh, Jeddah, Medina, and Taif, capturing moments and perspectives that reflect his current and future vision of human relationships and interactions.
