SUMMARY:Abdulqader Al Rais: Al Nayed
DESCRIPTION:A major retrospective for one of the founding figures of contemporary art in the Emirates. Throughout a career that spans more than five decades\, his work has maintained a sustained engagement with the architectural heritage\, natural landscapes\, and evolving urban environment of the UAE – a practice grounded in cultural heritage while remaining firmly situated within modern artistic practice. As the gallery puts it: “Rather than treating heritage and modernity as oppositional\, his practice demonstrates their continuity and mutual reinforcement”. \nFirst seen a couple of years ago at this location\, Al Nayed brings together significant works from Abdulqader Al Rais’s most important series following his progression from early observational and impressionistic works to the geometric and spiritual abstraction that characterises his mature practice – each body of work reflects a distinct phase in his ongoing exploration of form\, space\, and meaning. \nTo 25 October. \nAbove: Abdulqader Al Rais\, Untitled (from Impressionism Series\, 2020: detail)
