拍品專文

- Ahmed Mater

One of the most prominent contemporary artists of Saudi Arabia, Ahmed Mater explores the paradoxical natures of science/faith, modernisation/tradition and religion/globalisation in his scrutiny of contemporary realities. Also a practising physician, Mater entwines scientific objectives with politically-charged artistic expressions throughout his body of work.

, 2010, comments on the rapid evolution of Saudi Arabia since its discovery of oil in 1938, which transformed the Kingdom’s development fuelled by petrodollars. In this iconic work, the morphing of a gas pump into a man, gun to its head, reflects on a foreboding prognosis - that of the risks to the environment, social fabric and ultimate threat to cycles of destruction.

Mater was the first Saudi artist with a solo museum exhibition in the United States (2016): at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC. Further exhibitions include the Brooklyn Museum, New York (2019); Guggenheim, New York (2016); New Museum, New York (2014); Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (2013); Kochi Muziris Biennale, Kerala (2012); Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2011), Venice Biennale (2009, 2011) and the Sharjah Biennial (2007, 2013). Mater’s works are held in the collections of the British Museum, London; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California and Centre Pompidou, Paris, among others.
