Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim

About this book

Part of the UAE's first generation of contemporary artists which emerged in the late 1980s, Ibrahim has been inspired by his lifelong relationship with the environment of his birthplace, Khor Fakkan, nestled between the Gulf of Oman and the Hajar Mountains. Over 30 years he has produced handmade objects that appear to be unearthed artefacts, as well as installations and drawings. His works on paper reveal his own visual language of inscriptions, lines, and abstract forms that mark time through meditative repetition.
