Spanning over four decades, SAUDI NOW! is a carefully selected group of works by Saudi artists that trace the unique history of the Kingdom’s artistic evolution; from the development of a modernist language deeply enmeshed in the country’s cultural heritage, to innovative contemporary works that challenge perceptions of what Saudi art is and can be.

The selection features work by visionary modernists Abdul Halim Radwi and Mohammed Al Saleem and showcase their lasting legacy on today’s leading contemporary artists including Ahmed Mater, Manal Al Dowayan, Ayman Yossri Daydban and Abdulnasser Gharem. SAUDI NOW! also highlights the new generation of Saudi artistic voices such as Moath Alofi, Nasser Al Salem and Hmood Al Attawi who are based in Riyadh’s creative hub, the JAX district. Through their innovative multimedia practices, they are reshaping artistic conventions and expanding the possibilities of traditional media.
