MOHAMMED AHMED IBRAHIM
b. 1962, Khorfakkan, United Arab Emirates
Ibrahim’s works include sculptures, drawing on paper and paintings. His sculptures involve found material in the natural environment, including palm leaves, sand, stones, wood, shells as well as recycled papers, bottles, creating paper mache and clay sculptures. He also wraps copper wires around rocks. Prefering his works to exist outside in nature, most of the works have a weathered feel.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including the Sharjah Biennial in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2007, the 2009 Venice Biennale, the Kunstmuseum Bonn in 2005, the Sharjah Art Museum in 2005 and 1996, the Dhaka Biennial in 2002 and 1993, Germany’s Ludwig Forum in 2002, the 2000 Havana Biennial, the 1998 Cairo Biennial, the Institut du Monde Arabe in 1998, Holland’s Sittard Art Center in 1995, and Moscow’s 1990 “Exhibition of the Emirates Fine Art Society in the Soviet Union.”
