Curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, this exhibition focuses on works from Abdullah Al Saadi’s long history as an artist. Companionship is at the very centre of his artistic practice and has informed this exhibition in many ways. Al-Toubay was comprised of Camar Cande’s Journey (2010–2011), The Comparative Journey (2013), My Mother’s Letters (1998–2013) and The Watermelon Series (2013). This booklet accompanied the exhibition and includes a foreword from Al Qasimi as well as descriptions and visuals of the works on view.
This exhibition focuses on a selection of works from Abdullah Al Saadi’s long history as an artist, and includes completed works which have been in progress for the past decade as well as new projects.
This publication accompanied the exhibition Al-Toubay by Emirati artist Abdullah Al Saadi.
Abdullah Al Saadi’s work ranges from painting, drawing and the creation of lengthy artists’ notebooks to the collection and systematic categorisation of found objects and the invention of new alphabets.
Hoor Al Qasimi, President and Director of Sharjah Art Foundation, established the Foundation in 2009 as a catalyst and advocate for the arts in Sharjah, in the region and around the world.
