The Sharjah Fountain at Al Majaz Waterfront brought the ancient Islamic art of Ebru to life with a never seen before art performance by acclaimed Ebru artist Garip Ay from Istanbul.
An art form dating back to the 10th century, Ebru can perhaps be best described as painting on water.
Also known as Water Marbling, this unique method of painting happens in a tray of water (the canvas) where special inks are “swirled and crafted” to produce fascinating works, which are then, traditionally, transferred to paper. The results of this process are unique with no two designs ever exactly the same again.

I would have loved to see this. Any chances of posting photos of the exhibition?
We are actually working on a project that will involve some Ebru artwork and are looking forward to see how it will come out.
