Dubai and Abu Dhabi Exhibition 2025

The work of Tom Cross is largely based on landscape and

during his life he travelled widely in search of source material.  His first visit to the Middle East was in

1996 when he went to Dubai.  He made a

number of visits to the Middle East at the invitation of the Majlis Gallery,

painting the architecture, the old Arab houses with their Wind Towers, the

Mosques, the vast desert landscape and the Hajar Mountains of Dubai and Oman. He

became fascinated with the ferocious nature of the mountains and the desert

landscapes with their colour and spectacle. 

In the modern cities he found inspiration on the architecture old and

new.
