Bahrain’s art scene has been hit as hard as any sector during the pandemic, but a new gallery
in Al Aali Mall, in the island’s Seef District, is providing a much-needed boost to the region’s artists.
Last Oil Well is the brainchild of Canadian gallerist Frances Stafford, who is also the owner and head curator of the space, and aims to give a platform to creatives whose work was disrupted in 2020.
Having already exposed the citizens of Berlin
to Bahraini art through her 4:1 exhibition last year, Stafford gives the kingdom’s residents and visitors the chance to see – and buy – works by established and promising artists from Bahrain and beyond with her newest venture.
