Aprašymas

An accessible, edifying resource for readers interested in modern and contemporary Arab art

Published with Qatar Musuem.

Featuring over 250 images, Arab Design Now Volume 2 explores the evolving language of contemporary Arab art through a critically grounded study of artists whose practices are shaped by history, material and lived experience. Bringing together essays, archival references and in-depth visual documentation, the book traces how individual narratives intersect with broader cultural transformations across the region.
Through painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media, the featured works reveal an ongoing dialogue between heritage and experimentation. Traditional motifs are revisited through abstraction and conceptual strategies, while personal memory becomes a site of collective reflection. The publication situates these practices within regional and international contexts, highlighting the intellectual and aesthetic frameworks that inform them.
Artists include: Hassene Jeljeli, Selma Lazrak, Ahmed Angawi, Mehdi Dakhli, Hind Al Saad, Talin Hazbar, Tarek Shamma, Roham Shamekh, Faissal El-Malak, Shaikha Al Sulaiti.
