Nasser Alsalem
Nasser Al-Salem’s work is essentially the Arabic written word, therefore he is first and foremost a calligrapher. His practice pushes the boundaries of this age-old Islamic art by re-inventing it in non-conventional mixed media forms and by exploring its conceptual potential. Nasser Al-Salem was born in the Holy City of Mecca and Al-Salem has exhibited internationally at ‘Edge of Arabia’ shows in Istanbul (2009) and Jeddah (2012) and he has also participated in the British Museum’s Hajj exhibition (2012), where not shortly after, his work “Zamzam” was acquired by the museum. Most recently, Nasser has participated in the Echoes exhibition at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City [2013] and Calligraffiti at Leila Heller Gallery in New York [2013], The Language of Human Consciousness at Athr Gallery in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia [2014] and Common Grounds at Villa Stuck in Munich, Germany [2015]
