It’s been very positive so far. I haven’t received any negative feedback (at least not to my face). People seem very taken in by digital and analogue collages that offer structure and concepts within their abstraction.
I haven’t been very active in the art scene for long, so I don’t know how qualified I am to give an overview of the past few years. What I can say is I do feel an influx of young artists cropping up in the Middle East, breaking away from traditional art forms and tackling societal and cultural issues through contemporary art. I suspect this could have always been the case, I just wasn’t aware because art just wasn’t as widely accessible or circulated as it is now.
