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>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The first major solo show in the GCC for the Bangladesh-born US-based artist.
