Hisham Sharif on the tumultuous break-up that inspired his first Dubai solo | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are intruding. The woman scowls at us in the mirror as she pulls back from the man sitting next to her on the bed. Have we heard or seen something we shouldnât have? Our angled perspective from between the bed and the mirror certainly suggests this, as if we â as viewers â are crouching by the console table, trying to remain unnoticed. Our place in Hisham Sharifâs paintings, however, is often uncertain. Here, in Behind the Mirror, we could very well be the woman herself, rethinking th
Frieze fuelled London's art boom and now the stage is set for Abu Dhabi | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Frieze first pitched its tent in Regentâs Park in 2003, London was creatively flourishing but still lacked a major contemporary art fair that matched the cityâs international standing. In the previous decade, the likes of Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst had upended notions of what art was and could be, and young artists were reacting to their ideas â building upon them or rejecting them, often through pop-up exhibitions organised in abandoned warehouses and factories. Yet the community r
Sultan bin Fahad explores historical links between jazz and Islam in solo exhibition | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sultan bin Fahadâs Supreme can be perceived as a flattened, two-dimensional stage of a jazz room. The beads-on-canvas piece shows a grand piano on the left, facing a five-piece drum kit. Bass and horn sections are in the foreground. Each part of the band is positioned on an eight-pointed star, a common shape in Islamic design. The octagram â made of two overlapping squares â is known as Rub el-Hizb, literally translating to 'quarter of the groupâ. Knowing this, it is hard not to think of
Skin, burial mounds and AI: Six NYUAD artists rethink memory and belonging in Abu Dhabi | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The aquariums rev and babble, motors circulating water despite their empty state. Their black steel frames vibrate. Their glass panes are coated with a salty residue from the receding waterline but also, perhaps, from what once lived within. Two round, vertical containers are set beside the aquariums. Filled with a murky liquid, they are tall and wide enough to hold a person. Again, they are empty, save for something on the floor that looks like moss or seaweed. The strands and tufts arenât gr
Seven paintings by Sliman Mansour that highlight legacy of great Palestinian artist | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rope is taut against his head, chafing his palms as he takes one determined step after another. The load on his back is crushing. It is Jerusalem, its culture and history, and yet the old manâs grip is unwavering as he perseveres ahead. He knows what is at stake if he lets the burden fall, if he lets the contents of the sack spill to the ground. Sliman Mansourâs Jamal Al Mahamel, also called Camel of Hardship, is perhaps his most recognisable work. It is a searing metaphor of displacemen
