The Art Library Slip Case AR - Abdulrahman Alsoliman & Adam Henein

 

The Art Library: Discovering Arab Artists is an initiative that focuses on documenting and publishing a series of books that contextualizes the artistic methods and journeys of prominent Arab artists that played a significant role in shaping the Arab world's modern and contemporary art scene. The publications, published in Arabic and English, focus on documenting and displaying pivotal works throughout their history, philosophy, and humble experiences.

 

The first series highlights the oeuvre of Saudi painter Abdulrahman Alsoliman (b.1954) and Egyptian artist Adam Henein (1929-2020) presented alongside written contributions from local and international art critics, curators and writers and select noble works. Abdulrahman Alsoliman's book displays his painterly response, capturing his fundamentally abstract style and signs and symbols in his work. Adam Henein's book reveals an intimate aspect of his creations through a previously unpublished selection of charcoal drawings he produced over the last two decades.
