GROWTH: Latifa Alajlan
Upcoming exhibition
Overview
Latifa Alajlan, Growth,; 2025
GALERIE FARAH FAKHRI is honoured to present Latifa Alajlan first exhibition on the African continent.
Alajlan channels elements of Kuwaiti culture in her paintings through the use of pattern and form. Her lattice-like underpaintings and gestural use of impasto reflect motifs prevalent in Middle Eastern architecture, including places of worship, government buildings, historical sites, and monuments. While her mode of abstraction honours the history of non-representational art in the region, her expressive and atmospheric works constitute a distinctly somatic and conceptually driven practice. Flight-like gestures intermingle with identifiable idioms, calling established systems of structure into question.
