About the work

Dense, frenetic black scribble marks fill the composition, framing a stark solid dark square at its centre — a meditation on form, chaos, and stillness coexisting on the same plane.

About the artist

Jamal Abdel Raheem — Acrylic On Canvas, 120 × 100 cm (representative image)
Jamal Abdel Raheem

Bahrain, b. 1965

Jamal Abdel Raheem (جمال عبد الرحيم), born in 1965 in Bahrain, is a prominent Bahraini artist recognized for his contributions to contemporary art in the Gulf region. Working across painting, printmaking, and sculpture, Abdel Raheem is known for his expressive use of color and form, often drawing on themes from Bahraini heritage and the broader Arab world. His work frequently explores the intersection of tradition and modernity, employing both abstract and figurative elements to convey cultural narratives.

Abdel Raheem has exhibited extensively in Bahrain and internationally, with notable institutional exhibitions at the Bahrain National Museum and participation in regional biennials. His art has been featured in group and solo shows that highlight the evolution of Bahraini visual culture, and he is regarded as a key figure in the development of the Kingdom’s contemporary art scene. In addition to his exhibition record, Abdel Raheem’s works have appeared at major auction houses, including Christie’s Dubai, where his pieces have attracted attention from collectors interested in modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art. His career reflects a sustained engagement with both local and international audiences, marking him as a significant voice in Gulf art since the late twentieth century.

Abstract Expressionism

A postwar movement built on spontaneous, gestural abstraction and broad fields of color, conveying feeling without recognizable subjects. Its freedom shaped many Arab modernists exploring abstraction in their own visual language.
