After presenting a solo exhibition with us in April, we are delighted to announce that Rushdi Anwar has officially joined Ab-Anbar’s roster of artists.
His work reflects on the socio-political issues that continue to mire the geopolitics of West Asia, historically known as ‘The Middle East’, drawing on his personal experiences of displacement, conflict, and trauma endured under Iraq’s colonial and ideological regimes.
He earned his Ph.D. in Art from RMIT university, Melbourne, and is currently a senior lecturer in the Painting division of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Chiang Mai University, Thailand.
He was shortlisted for the Artes Mundi 10-Biennial Prize in Cardiff, 2023, and has exhibited his work with significant institutions worldwide, including the Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok, the Sharjah Biennial in the UAE, Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam, Bangkok Art Biennale, and the 12th Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, among others.
