Khaled Sabsabi is a senior Australian artist who migrated from Lebanon with his family in the 1970s to escape civil war. Since 2001, repeated visits to the Middle East have inspired a body of work exploring the entwinement of spiritual belief, politics and conflict.
A Promise presents major works by Khaled Sabsabi that ruminate on the complex relationship between self and other. It includes large-scale immersive time-based works from the Gallery’s collection – such as Organised confusion (2014), which explores heightened states of fanaticism and transcendence among Western Sydney Wanderers football fans – alongside new paintings that evoke the politics of person and place.
This exhibition is produced by the Gallery in partnership with the Campbelltown Arts Centre and the artist.
The exhibition runs from July 18 well into 2021.
