Upcoming Exhibitions
ALIA AHMAD
ASPECTS
18 SEPT – 4 NOV 2024
Lawrie Shabibi is thrilled to announce Aspects [مظاهر], a solo exhibition of the Saudi Arabian painter Alia Ahmad. The exhibition will be her first with the gallery and will feature a new body of intimately sized paintings. Deconstructing the various elements that comprise her world, Ahmad creates her own lexicon of forms - abstracted vegetal, floral and geometric elements, motifs sometimes resembling bacteria, trees, or webs, and others, describing industrial features within the fast-developing landscape.
RAND ABDUL JABBAR
14 NOV 2024 – 7 JAN 2025
Rand Abdul Jabbar’s first gallery solo, curated by Meitha Almazrooei, weaves narrative with sculpture and textile to explore myth-making as a method of preservation and transformation.
The exhibition follows on from her participation in (AlUla Desert X 2024 'where myths are born of mud and desire') and her award of the Richard Mille Prize ('Earthly Wonders, Celestial Beings') in 2022.
About Lawrie Shabibi
Lawrie Shabibi was founded in 2010 and opened its doors in early 2011 in Alserkal Avenue, located within the light industrial warehouse district of Al Quoz in Dubai. Following the relocation of several renowned galleries, this quickly became the hub of contemporary art in the region, and we have been a forerunner in the development of this contemporary art scene.
The gallery’s initial focus was on the practices of emerging contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (the “Global South”), and in the last five years we introduced artists from other regions and generations, yet with the same focus on the “underrepresented”. A major focus remains the support of artists from the diaspora who create work in all media to explore issues such as identity, memory, history and socio-political issues specific to the diasporic experience.
