Join us on Thursday, November 14, 6-8 PM, for the opening reception of Superficial Transactions, Eman Alhashemi's second solo exhibition at the gallery, which will be running until January 6, 2025.

Curated by Nasser Abdullah, this exhibition marks her first after returning from the U.S., where she earned a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, further enriching her artistic expertise alongside her remarkable activity and prolific output. In this exhibition, Eman presents a series of works that build on her previous experiences, appearing as annotations and reflections that encapsulate different phases she has undergone since the beginning of her career.

She began with experiments in manual printing and producing repetitive editions during her early academic years. Later, she transitioned to sculpture and ceramics, eventually exploring a variety of artistic mediums, including performance art and multimedia video pieces. This artistic journey through time illustrates the evolution in her work and her shifting artistic perspective.

Eman’s work is characterized by her ability to embrace mistakes and inconsistencies across editions, accepting the existence of multiple versions of the same object, both in art and in life. This reconciled perspective on imperfection and difference reflects the diversity of human nature, as she interacts with each situation and circumstance differently. This unique approach blends experimentation with critical thinking.
