French Architect Jean-Pierre Heim Showcases AlUla in New York Exhibit
New York's Didier Aaron Gallery is currently hosting 'Travelling is an Art: The Drawings of Jean-Pierre Heim', an exhibition that traces the architectural and cultural reflections of French architect and artist Jean-Pierre Heim. Known for his work on high-profile restaurants, resorts, and hotels across the globe, Heim brings together a selection of travel-inspired sketches that blend architectural precision with artistic expression.
The exhibition includes visual impressions from Heim's journeys through Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Greece, China, Tibet, Central Asia, and South Asia. Using ink, watercolour, and collage, Heim captures ancient ruins, monuments, and desert landscapes with an emphasis on architectural structure and cultural symbolism.
One of the key highlights of the exhibition is Heim's depiction of AlUla, the ancient northwestern Saudi city known for its archaeological and cultural significance. Heim's rendering of AlUla aligns with Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to promote its cultural heritage on an international scale. Through detailed sketches and layered textures, Heim reinterprets the region's built history in ways that merge traditional aesthetics with modern creative interpretation.
The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in New York, reinforcing cross-cultural dialogue through visual art. Heim's work positions architecture not just as design, but as a narrative tool that bridges time, place, and perspective.
'Travelling is an Art: The Drawings of Jean-Pierre Heim' is open to the public at Didier Aaron Gallery in New York until June 20th, with visiting hours from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM.

Volcano Erupts in Southwest Iceland
Israa Farhan A volcano erupted in southwest Iceland on Wednesday, marking the latest in a series of eruptions that have affected the region since 2021, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office. Iceland, a North Atlantic island nation known for its dramatic landscapes shaped by glaciers and volcanoes, has now experienced 12 volcanic eruptions in just four years. These eruptions are typically characterized by lava emerging from long fissures in the Earth's crust rather than explosive activity from a central crater. The latest eruption occurred in the Reykjanes Peninsula, a geologically active area near the capital Reykjavik. While visually striking, these events have so far posed no direct threat to the capital and have not produced significant ash clouds in the stratosphere or caused disruption to air traffic. However, the nearby fishing town of Grindavík remains largely abandoned. Once home to nearly 4,000 residents, the town was evacuated in 2023 due to persistent threats from lava flows and earthquake swarms linked to the volcanic unrest. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
