Artist’s Rooms: Ayesha Sultana

Title: Artist’s Rooms: Ayesha Sultana
Artist(s): Ayesha Sultana
Exhibition Dates: 7 December – 14 May 2023
Location: Jameel Arts Centre
About: Bringing together recent works on paper by artist Ayesha Sultana, the exhibition looks at the artist’s long standing engagement with the materiality and every day iconography of her home city of Dhakah; rendering forms of street corners, architectural features, wall textures and construction detritus encountered during her day-to-day life in Dhaka and other cities she travels to. These impressions accumulate in her subconscious and find themselves on paper. They are not just observations of form, but of material, movement, and distance; key aspects that have held Sultana’s interest over time.
