LAST CHANCE Juma Al Haj: The Return

A short run for this pop-up solo exhibition by the Emirati artist, noted for his calligraphy-like abstracted text in paintings and drawings. His abstract notations appear unconscious, though his process is in fact method-based, calculated and always originating from his personal journals; this exhibition chronicles self-reflections on existence, triggered by loss, and it signifies a clear development in his practice – his choice of sand as a medium, the transition from script to tally marks, the shift to geometric abstraction.

The exhibition is mounted for Alserkal Art Week by Iris Projects, formerly known as Iris Art Advisory.
