Produced using oil and natural pigments on canvas, Hennessy depicts a motorbike perched atop Jebel Hafeet mountain suspended between journeys. Al Lamki understands this vehicle as one of the characters that populate the mountain and contribute to its dynamic ecosystem that stretches between man and land. He suggests that the shiny black bike, pausing in a moment of reflection, considers the journey to the summit, traversed along winding roads and asks where its partner might be?

A high-occupancy vehicle, this painting depicts a Si-Fi scene almost from of the mountain between, the past, the present and the future, continuing the honest ongoing dialogue of truing point during the day at sunset when the sun and the moon are exchanging work shifts in a romantic corporate
Emirati painter and multi-disciplinary artist, Hashel Al Lamki’s art unpacks the relationship between humankind and their habitat, the wild and constructed.

For Art Dubai Al Lamki has produced a series of paintings entitled Sphere, 2023, (natural pigment on canvas) that captures an imagined journey from day to night across Jabal Hafeet mountain. Al Lamki’s gestural strokes and luminescent palette embody an almost vibrational quality.

In this series, Al Lamki continues his previous reflections on life cycles, shifts and the connection between human and natural worlds. These works mine the artist’s memory and imagination resulting in paintings in contrasting fluorescent and muted palettes that reveal an oneiric universe. This series began in 2020 at the peak of the Pandemic when mobility was limited. Confirmed to his studio Al Lamki embarked upon journeys of the mind, chartering shifts in light from sunrise to nightfall, and reflecting upon the passing of time and the earth’s rotation, which has informed the series title, Sphere. In Al Lamki’s words: “Through absence, I could better understand myself and the environment.”
