Artist Inaam Zafar discusses his exhibition "Body Quotidien" in an interview with Sharjah 24, explaining that the show explores the poetics of memory and indirect representations of the human body through everyday objects, spaces, and symbols. Zafar presents five paintings in the exhibition, while artist Laila Majid contributes seven works spanning photography and sculpture, all using abstraction to evoke familiar memories and places.
The exhibition matters because it offers a nuanced approach to representing the body without direct figuration, inviting viewers to decode deeper meanings embedded in familiar objects and experiences. By combining multiple artistic mediums and perspectives from two artists, "Body Quotidien" contributes to ongoing conversations about memory, decay, and abstraction in contemporary visual art.
