Saabat Gallery’s First Private Collection Exhibition
Online exhibition
The Saabat Gallery wants to work beyond the stereotype of private collections formed by royalty, the aristocracy, and the wealthy community.
Our primary purpose of the collection, promote artists work, and expose them to the public, collectors, media, and cultural institutions.
It is the first group of works by local artists gathered by our gallery. Our gallery represents works of art without specific types of art like abstract, contemporary art, or masters of the 20th century.
Every artist integrates into Saabat without taking into consideration the vision, mission, and style.
We are looking for new artwork to enhance our collection.
The nice thing about the show is that without having to pay any money you can just come and enjoy it.
For the right purpose, Saabat welcomes you so do not hesitate to come.

‘Everywhere Is East’
25th April 2021
At a period in time when we are globally connected through a worldwide pandemic, we are also divided by political strategies, poverty and a truly connected approach to tackling the crisis. What challenges lie ahead for the future of the global community and conflict? Saabat Gallery explores humanities relationship with conflict through the exhibition ‘Everywhere Is East’ a series of paintings and photo collages by the Kurdish artist Ahmad Nabaz. Narrowing the focus of personal experience, a series of 23 paintings draw poignantly and always unapologetically upon his upbringing and life in Erbil, Iraq. Against a perpetual backdrop of conflict, loss and unimaginable experiences, Nabaz reflects personal insights that explore the controlling facets of religion, politics and gender politics within the perpetuation of identity and regional/global conflict. ‘Destroyers’ and ‘History Repeats Itself’ are a series of photomontages, that build upon on his personal experiences to explore the global relationship and cyclical nature of historical/recent conflict through a series of uncomfortable yet instantly recognisable images. The photomontages act as an accessible and easily consumed medium. By blurring art and history they play out as a macabre ‘who’s who’ of noteworthy and influential figures within historical conflict, challenging the viewer to question their role as a potential vehicle for change or a passive observer of history repeating itself.
‘Out Of The Shadows’ An exhibition of oil paintings by David McArthur at SAABAT Gallery South Bank
10th December 2020
Curated by Azad K.M
David has been a Sunday painter for many years, always seeking to find time from his busy schedules, as A Father, A Husband and Worker. Now in his early 6o’s, he says that “it is now more than ever Art provides me with wings in order to fly, and the SAABAT Gallery is my new home”. David is a firm believer that painting in the open air ‘plein air’ is the doorway to discovery and the artist studio is the workshop which allows greater scale to these studies.
