Aisha Alabbar Gallery is delighted to present Muheera & I, Abdulrahim Salim’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
In this extensive collection spanning two decades of 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, Salim not only celebrates the strength and resilience of women but also challenges preconceived notions about their role within society.
