About the Work
Produced on a canvas of tent fabric that denotes the transient nature of the mountain, Caviar on Tap flips standardised perceptions. Al Lamki negotiates pearls as rocks and rocks as pearls. This reversal is a meditation on societal expectations, standardised meanings, and life choices anchored in consumerism and the consumption of natural resources; choices that classify the elite versus the impoverished masses.

About the Exhibition
Emirati painter and multi-disciplinary artist, Hashel Al Lamki’s art unpacks the relationship between humankind and their habitat, the wild and constructed. Al Lamki refuses the separation of man and nature, his practice underscores the dependency of mankind on natural resources and their subsequent responsibility for the environmental catastrophe that looms. His approach to art fuses social innovation, sustainability, and environmental consciousness. Inspired by scientific methodologies and local artisanal processes.

For Art Dubai Al Lamki has produced a series of paintings entitled Sphere, 2023, (natural pigment on canvas) that captures an imagined journey from day to night across Jabal Hafeet mountain. Al Lamki’s gestural strokes and luminescent palette embody an almost vibrational quality.

In this series, Al Lamki continues his previous reflections on life cycles, shifts and the connection between human and natural worlds. These works mine the artist’s memory and imagination resulting in paintings in contrasting fluorescent and muted palettes that reveal an oneiric universe. This series began in 2020 at the peak of the Pandemic when mobility was limited. Confirmed to his studio Al Lamki embarked upon journeys of the mind, chartering shifts in light from sunrise to nightfall, and reflecting upon the passing of time and the earth’s rotation, which has informed the series title, Sphere. In Al Lamki’s words: “Through absence, I could better understand myself and the environment.”
