Ibrahim, who are both known separately for their nuanced work that has greatly contributed to the canon of important work produced inside the UAE and have both represented the UAE at the Venice Biennale. Al Ghanem, a poet, painter and filmmaker, continually produces art that pushes her own practice forward. Ibrahim’s work, often sculptural, uses natural material and organic shapes to comment on what has become an instantly recognisable practice. This year, Ibrahim’s work comprises the visual identity of the fair. The images for the 2023 campaign are from his different projects and they reveal his own form of language - inscriptions, lines and abstract forms that are reminiscent of ancient cave drawings - marking time and memory through meditative repetition. Also commissioned by Abu Dhabi Art this year is American artist Hugo McCloud, who has been delving into materiality over the past few years with a particular focus on plastic.

All this is before getting into the main event – the art fair itself.

fuses that interest with colour theory to delve into questions of identity in her practice that often starts with her own documentary photography. Latifa Saeed describes herself as a multidisciplinary artist whose interest in location and urban development underscores her practice that fuses design elements with conceptual fine art theory. In 2023, Saeed was the first Emirati artist to exhibit in Almaty, Kazakhstan with a solo exhibition curated by the renowned art historian, critic, and author Valeria Ibraeva. In addition to spotlighting and nurturing the growth of promising talent in the UAE and the region, Nusseibeh is a huge advocate for bringing art in the public space and engaging the public with thoughtful and meaningful artworks all year round. Each year, Abu Dhabi Art invites established and well- known artists to create site-specific works in historic sites in Al Ain such as Al Jahili Fort and the Al Ain Oasis as well as some in the wider Abu Dhabi emirate. The commissions have a dual purpose, to activate these sites and draw new audiences to them as well as to allow several months for the public to interact with the art. This year’s commissioned artists are Emirati stalwarts Nujoom Al Ghanem and Mohamed Ahmed
