Alymamah Rashed | Tabari Artspace

Selections, April 2, 2021

Tabari Artspace presents Kuwaiti surrealist painter, Alymamah Rashed’s solo exhibition.

Rashed draws from regional folklore and the rapid social shifts that she has witnessed such as the modernisation and industrialisation of the Gulf region, she negotiates readings of Islamic philosophy and poetry, and ornamentation and the every day banal objects that she encounters. Her gestural, surrealist paintings harness self-portraiture to investigate the complexities of identity in the post-internet generation.
