Evolution Of Man

Ahmed Mater works as an artist and medical doctor and splits his time between Abha, Jeddah and Makkah in Saudi Arabia. He is founder of the Al-Meftaha Arts Village in Abha. Mater co-founded Edge of Arabia in 2003 and since then has attracted international attention for his art, which encompasses photography, calligraphy, painting, installation, performance and video. His work explores the narratives and aesthetics of Islamic culture in an era of globalization, consumerism and transformation. His recent work increasingly uses image and video to explore local collective memory and unofficial histories behind contemporary Saudi Arabian sociopolitical life.
