Nour El Saleh’s works explore notions of place, selective and relative memory. Through her paintings, she invites us into alternate worlds of humanoid creatures that uncomfortably engage with one another in overly charged environments. The spaces she creates challenge the extremities of passion, repulsion, structure and obsession while re-interpreting the role of aesthetic beauty and ugliness.
Nour el Saleh (born 1997, Lebanon) completed her postgraduate degree from The Royal Drawing School in 2022. She has recently exhibited at Edel Assanti, UK (2022), Castello di San Basillio, Italy (2022), Cassina Projects, Italy (2022); Plaza Plaza, UK (2021), V.O Curations, UK (2021); Lowell Ryan Projects, Mexico (2020); Kuva Gallery, Finland (2019); Daniel Benjamin Gallery, London (2018). She was recently in residence at Castello San Basilio, Italy and Palazzo Monti, Italy. In 2023, Nour is currently exhibiting at Quench Gallery, in Margate, UK until the 30th of April. El Saleh lives and works in London.
