Art Now Zeinab Saleh

19 January – 23 June 2024

Zeinab Saleh, Early morning, 2024

Zeinab Saleh presents an intimate new series of paintings and drawings which trace both fleeting movement and suspended time

Zeinab Saleh uses acrylic paint, charcoal and soft pastels to create a new series of paintings and drawings for her Art Now display at Tate Britain. Inspired by everyday experiences, personal encounters and memories, Saleh’s materials and palette allow her to make artworks that evoke feelings of intimacy and tenderness without being fixed in any specific time or narrative. Inviting calm and contemplation, the viewer is immersed in the space within the image. Saleh uses recurring patterns and silhouettes to project layers of time and meaning onto her canvases. She alludes to narratives but rarely are they fully disclosed.

Zeinab Saleh (b.1996, Kenya) lives and works in London. She received her BFA from Slade School of Fine Art in 2019. Recent solo exhibitions include j~o~y r~i~d~e, Champ Lacombe, Biarritz, France, 2023; Softest Place (On Earth) [Extended Mix], Château Shatto, Los Angeles, California, USA, 2022; and Softest place (on earth), Camden Art Centre, London, UK, 2021. Selected group exhibitions include A Lover’s Discourse, Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colorado, USA, 2023; Nour el Ain, Karma International, Zürich, Switzerland, 2021; and After Image, MAMOTH, London, UK, 2020.
