A solo show celebrating the work of Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, a massively influential figure in the development of contemporary art in the UAE. He was part of the UAE’s first generation of contemporary artists from the late 1980s, an avant-garde scene that included Hassan Sharif, Abdullah Al Saadi, Hussein Sharif, and Mohammed Kazem.
This exhibition should allow for an exploration of Ibrahim’s meditative, process-driven practice. Ibrahim’s work has been inspired by a lifelong relationship with the environment of Khorfakkan, his place of birth. This deep connection to his local environment repeats itself throughout his studio practice, whether through his installations, drawings or objects, and the materials he has worked with for over three decades.
To 22 February.
