London Gallery Weekend

📣 Acquisition Announcement 📣 During this year’s London Gallery Weekend as part of a new partnership, the Government Art Collection acquired works of art from galleries that participated in the event. We are very excited to announce that the two amazing works were by artists Fathi Hassan, represented by Richard Saltoun Gallery, and Mohammed Z. Rahman, represented by Phillida Reid. 🏺 Fathi Hassan’s Eternity Container uses calligraphy as a form of cultural preservation. The artist’s family are of Nubian and Egyptian descent and were forced to leave their ancestral home in southern Egypt in the 1950s when the construction of the Aswan Dam flooded the area where they lived, creating what is today Lake Nasser. 🍚 Mohammed Z. Rahman’s painting Divali shows how different communities can celebrate together and features a group of friends from Hindu and Sikh backgrounds enjoying the festival of Diwali. Rahman is a British-Bengali visual artist and writer based in London. Mohammed Z.
