In a series of ten new, small-scale acrylic on canvas paintings, Al Samerraei engages in a minimalist rendering of alien landscapes. Vast vistas display opaque pools, fiery orange accents settle on jagged rocks, while veins of red snake across ethereal plains. Created in parallel with Al Samerraei’s work on larger scale paintings, these landscapes are executed on leftover canvas scraps. They embody a formal experimentation that sees the artist work outside of a pre-planned schema, allowing for a more genuine, uninhibited process to emerge, unhampered by the artist’s expectations.
