Nasser Almulhim's 'In-Between' at Tabari Artspace Explores Jungian Psychology

Tabari Artspace presents 'In-Between', a solo exhibition by Saudi abstract painter Nasser Almulhim, running from an unspecified date. The show features 12 works in a palette ranging from pistachio to tangerine, black to cerulean. Almulhim draws on Carl Jung's concept of shadow work, which he previously explored in his debut exhibition 'Shadow Work' at the same gallery. The number 12 carries symbolic weight across religious and mythological traditions, representing perfection and cosmic order. Each painting is framed within a frame, symbolizing the artist's mental world. Almulhim views painting as therapy for navigating circular thoughts, memories, and trauma. He cites Jung's 'The Philosophical Tree' (1945) on making darkness conscious. The works bridge conscious and subconscious realms, with fluid geometric forms creating portals. Almulhim avoids imposing interpretations, inviting personal engagement. The press release accompanies an image of 'Shadow flowing towards the lights' (2024, acrylic and oil pastels on canvas, 180 x 180 cm).
