MIAMI---
Untitled Art, Miami Beach opened to VIPs yesterday at Ocean Drive and 12th Street in South Beach, Miami. Here are six stand-out works from the fair. Currently based in San Francisco,
Wesaam Al-Badry was born in Nasiriyah, Iraq in 1984. “As a young man growing up in middle America, Al-Badry fiercely felt the disconnect between his experiences in Iraq and the refugee camps and his new American reality,” says the gallery. But now, the relationship between Western ideals and traditional Muslim culture forms the bases of his work. Staging portraits featuring women wearing these custom luxury niqabs, the artist displays Western consumerism’s influence on Muslim culture, revealing the tension between Occidental and Arab-Islamic ideologies.
