SRMG Explores Evolution of Saudi Abstraction at Art Week Riyadh
The Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG) has introduced a fascinating collection at the inaugural edition of Art Week Riyadh focusing on the evolution of Saudi abstraction, according to Arab News. SRMG's collection is part of 'Collections in Dialogue,' a key exhibition showcasing stunning works by the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) and Hayy Jameel. Titled 'Abstract Horizons,' the collection showcases the remarkable artworks of artists like Mohammed Al-Saleem and Abdulhalim Radwi. These artists had laid the foundation of Saudi Arabia's contemporary art movement. SRMG Explores Evolution of Saudi Abstraction at Art Week Riyadh Through the abstract practices of three generations of Saudi artists, the collection highlights the changing aesthetic and intellectual currents of the Kingdom. Interestingly, the exhibition traces back the early beginnings of those artists born in the 1930s and 1940s, whose artworks significantly emerged in the 1990s. Radwi founded modernism movement in Saudi Arabia, meanwhile Al-Saleem established the 'horizonism' movement. Al-Saleem has offered various artworks exploring the geometric depiction of the Saudi skyline and desertscape. Consequently, abstraction has turned into a critical language in the cultural scene. SRMG Explores Evolution of Saudi Abstraction at Art Week Riyadh Importantly, the exhibition moved to the themes of culture, identity and memory with several works from the early 2000s. For example, Abdulrahman Al-Soliman has offered an exceptional mix between architectural elements and heritage and contemporary expression. In addition, Abdullah Hamas has reshaped the Kingdom's landscape through geometric compositions. The event also highlights the pivotal role of Raeda Ashour as one of the first female Saudi abstract artists, who relies on a minimalist yet evocative approach in her work.
