Contemporary Saudi Artwork at Gstaad Gallery
18.04.2015 Arts & CultureAbdulnasser Gharem is a Saudi artist and former army colonel who is often hailed as the conservative country’s most provocative artist. Gharem’s mixed media works include highly controversial religious, environmental, and political themes, featuring his signature ‘stamped’ texture.
“We are thrilled to display Gharem’s works once more,” says Georges Marci, the art collector and dealer who founded Chalet Saqqarah as Gstaad’s first gallery in the early 1970’s. “His pieces represent the peace that he so desperately wants for the Middle East.”
Chalet Saqqarah and the Gharem exhibition will open in late December, by invitation or request only.
