COLLECTION: SALMAN AL NAJEM

Salman Al Najem (b. 1992, Bahrain) identifies as a creative force and a self-expression of the divine. He uses common symbols and materials from contemporary life to disentangle Khaleeji societal complexities. A level of physicality and intensity exist in Salman’s paintings, created through the use of heavy physical gestures and industrial materials and paints. His works go through an aesthetic filter of colours, symbols and images derived from the culture he consumed as a child. While practicing authentic self-expression, Salman makes space for grace with chance to allow the divine to flow through him while producing his artwork. Salman holds an MA in Fine Art from the Royal College of Art and BA Interior & Spatial Design from University of the Arts London, LCC.
