Mohamed Ali Fadlabi’s work maintains its roots in African culture, tempered by irony and postcolonial theoretical discourse, as he seeks to seduce the viewer with a series of culturally defunct frames of reference. The Prediction Machine tells stories of saints and superheroes. It references Ethiopian church paintings, African barber salon art, Sun Ra’s afrofuturism, retrofuturism and music. The work questions Western norms in art, the meaning of Europe today and the persistent division between what is designated the West and the non-West.
Obra realizada con el apoyo de Sharjah Art Foundation.
