Description

The work by the young emerging Saudi artist

This interactive book features a unique selection of artworks, essays, and interviews by a remarkable Saudi new media artist, Abdullah Rashed AlSahli, famously known in the virtual space as ARC. Born with a rare neuromuscular disorder called SMA that largely shaped his life and his art practices, Abdullah AlSahli found in digital art a passion and a means to escape his harsh reality. He creates refined, intricate, and calculatingly detailed art pieces that defy physics and are whimsical in nature. Inspired by his own experience, Abdullah AlSahli also founded Art Without Limits (AWL), a studio focusing on empowering artists with disabilities to unlock their full artistic potential. By shedding light on his life, work, and story, ARC's monograph provides an inspirational insight into the practice, methodologies, and philosophies of a successful and popular artist who has sold more than 333 pieces in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
