Photos/Supplied Hamdan Buti Al Shamsi tells us the inspiration behind his debut solo exhibition ‘Kn_bkhair’ Emirati artist Hamdan Buti Al Shamsi delved deep within for inspiration for his latest work, ‘Kn_bkhair’, which will be on display at the Tashkeel gallery in Dubai from March 16 to April 24. A self-taught multidisciplinary artist and writer, Hamdan focused on himself to create prints, handwritten poetry, video and an installation — all of which analyse identity, individualism and subconsciousness. We caught up with Hamdan to talk about his first solo exhibition that is also the outcome of Tashkeel’s Critical Practice Programme 2020 — where Hamdan spent one year of research and reflection on self-representation through a variety of visual mediums, mentored by artist and curator Hind bin Demaithan Al Qemzi.
