Safarkhan is happy to introduce to you the very special and talented
Sabah Naim in her second exhibition "Gazing at the Sky". Naim presents
us this year with yet another creative concept of her art that relies on
a visual and sensual enrichment. A magnificent slice of nature where
leaves, petals, tree trunks and flowers enter twine in a harmonious
composition reminiscent of ancients Persian miniatures that have been
lovingly crafted with crative hands and have survived across the years.
Moreover Naim adds photography to her art reinventing and mixing unusual
pallets and forms from natures to highlight the power of the Creator
where peace love and light subsides eternally.
“In a simple language and stenographic characters, "Sabah Naim" creates a
charming and ambiguous world. The artist commences its world with
primitively composed flowers in the simplest fashion an artist can ever
draw in a consecutive motion and sequential rhythm making such simple
flowers as if its a heart’s or life beat and resembling sighs or
glorifications. Such simple flowers are how Sabah writes her mystic
scripts about common merits between creatures despite severe disparity
and difference of trees, palm trees, sky, and stars. Sabah narrates how
she spent a night in the ancient hotel in Luxor between the high trees
boughs and palms trunks that try to curtain the sky on which stars were
dancing in a fascinating glimmering yet dimming rhythm while breeze
moves everything around and mingles lines, colors, and sizes to start a
new motion cycle. How can an artist express such interrelations and
unity between all creatures and the common an artwork space tableau
interpret all coherent universal geometric laws? How can lines and
colors express the sternness and gentleness of the nature at the same
time? The aching cactus thorns penetrate the surrounding red vacuum.
This is what Sabah Naim could do through the simplest and most modern
executions and with a very special determined serious language across
the artistic years…” Mohamedd Abla
