Overview

This handy volume annotates the series of works featured in the exhibition Antonio Dias: The Search for an Open Enigma, curated by Hoor Al Qasimi, President and Director of Sharjah Art Foundation, with Reem Sawan, Curatorial Assistant at the Foundation. As an artist, Dias relentlessly transgressed material and conceptual boundaries, tackling complex sociopolitical issues across diverse mediums. The exhibition pays homage to the versatile and subversive nature of his oeuvre through a selection of works that follow his artistic trajectory from the 1960s until the late 1990s.
