Her practice spans drawing, painting and sculpture, &#8220;exploring the material and conceptual possibilities of form and medium &#8230; Sultana proposes that fragility can be a form of strength while encompassing profound vulnerability. This thematic exploration is particularly pertinent in the contemporary world as social, ecological and personal upheavals continually test the limits of sustainability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition has new oil paintings, watercolours on Japanese silk tissue, works on clay-coated paper, hand-blown glass sculptures, and some past photographic explorations. Interestingly, there&#8217;s also a hint of the creative process through the inclusion of sketchbooks, diaries, in-progress artworks and an unfinished video. This kind of soul-baring is all too rare in conventional gallery shows; sometimes it can get in the way of the works themselves, but obviously there will be occasions when the artist (and\/or the gallerist) understands that it might provide additional insights. As the blurb puts it, these additions &#8220;reveal the meticulous planning, experimentation and emotional investment underlying each finished piece, highlighting the fragility and resilience inherent in all creative acts &#8230; The exhibition reflects the fluidity and openness that characterise Sultana\u2019s approach to art, allowing viewers to witness the raw, unpolished stages of her creative journey&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"last-chance-ayesha-sultana-fragility-and-resilience","image":false,"all_day":true,"start_date":"2024-12-07 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"12","day":"07","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2024-12-07 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"12","day":"07","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2024-12-06 20:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"12","day":"06","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2024-12-07 19:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"12","day":"07","hour":"19","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"Asia\/Dubai","timezone_abbr":"+04","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"AED ","currency_code":"AED","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Art","slug":"art","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":50,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":1082,"filter":"raw","id":50,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/50","collection":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Exhibition","slug":"exhibition","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":96,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":1021,"filter":"raw","id":96,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/96","collection":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":21339,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2019-01-22 19:50:28","date_utc":"2019-01-22 15:50:28","modified":"2019-01-22 19:50:28","modified_utc":"2019-01-22 15:50:28","url":"https:\/\/magpie.ae\/staging4\/venue\/ishara-art-foundation\/","venue":"Ishara Art Foundation","slug":"ishara-art-foundation","address":"Alserkal Avenue","city":"Dubai","website":"http:\/\/www.ishara.org","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Ishara Art Foundation","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Alserkal Avenue","addressLocality":"Dubai"},"telephone":"","sameAs":"http:\/\/www.ishara.org"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"magpie.ae\/staging4?id=21339","global_id_lineage":["magpie.ae\/staging4?id=21339"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"&lt;mark&gt;CLOSING TODAY&lt;\/mark&gt; Ayesha Sultana: Fragility and Resilience","description":"&lt;p&gt;The first major solo show in the GCC for the Bangladesh-born US-based artist.
