Abdulrahim Salim: Muheera & I
Aisha Alabbar Gallery, Dubai
15 November 2023 - 15 February 2024
Aisha Alabbar Gallery presents Muheera & I, ABDULRAHIM SALIM’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
In this extensive collection spanning two decades of Abdulrahim Salim's career, this exhibition presents a retrospective of the artist's oeuvre, including figurative drawings, paper collages, and his most renowned abstract paintings, encompassing the period from 1999 to the present day.
Central to his artistic vision is the enduring influence of folklore and the captivating character, Muheera. Initially misunderstood and burdened with a tragic narrative involving a black magic curse, Muheera has been a constant source of inspiration for Salim. Through her story, Abdulrahim Salim not only celebrates the strength and resilience of women but also challenges preconceived notions about their role within society.
Abdulrahim Salim (1955, UAE) is one of the first contributors to the fine art movements in the UAE alongside Najat Makki, Hassan Sharif, Abdul Qader Al Raes and others.
