Descrição do Colecionável

Abdul-Rahman Abdullah is a Perth based multi-disciplinary artist and commercial sculptor. He holds a BA Fine Arts from both the University of Melbourne and Curtin University. Abdul-Rahman describes his practice as exploring ‘a sense of identity that emerges from a cultural heritage that is both Muslim and seventh generation Australian’. Working primarily in sculpture, drawing and installation, Abdullah-Rahman takes a figurative approach to contextualise subjective memories as physical objects and installations. His processes use a range of mediums including clay, resin, silicone and bronze in conjunction with found objects and materials, as well as extensive use of technical mould making processes to achieve highly resolved pieces. Big Jihad explores the meaning of ‘the greater jihad’, which in Islam is the internal struggle with one’s nafs (the ego or commanding self). Abdullah describes this concept as the recognition of one’s humanity as forming the basis of his relationship to Islam.

The Tapestry of Identity and Heritage

Born in the industrial landscape of Port Kembla in 1977, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah carries within him a complex, multi-layered history that breathes life into his evocative canvases. His early years, shaped by a move to Perth, provided the backdrop for an artistic journey deeply rooted in the intersection of disparate worlds. As a seventh-generation Australian with Malay heritage, Abdullah’s work serves as a profound meditation on the concept of belonging, weaving together the threads of a Muslim identity that is both ancient and contemporary.

Academic Foundations and the Fluidity of Memory

The artist's formal training at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2010 and his subsequent attainment of a Bachelor of Art from Curtin University in 2012 provided the technical scaffolding for his conceptual explorations. Through these academic milestones, Abdullah began to refine a visual language capable of articulating the "mutable understanding of childhood values in the present tense." His work does not merely depict scenes; it captures the ephemeral nature of memory and the shifting boundaries of the self, inviting viewers to contemplate how our pasts inform our current perceptions.

A Narrative of Migration and Spiritual Legacy

At the heart of Abdullah’s practice lies a deeply personal engagement with the migrant experience, viewed through the lens of his mother’s journey. This narrative is further enriched by the spiritual complexities introduced by his father’s early conversion to Islam, an event that left indelible marks on the family's cultural landscape. His art explores these delicate parameters, navigating the tension between tradition and adaptation, and the ongoing implications of faith within a modern Australian context. Through his evocative imagery, Abdullah invites the viewer into a space where identity is never static, but rather a continuous, beautiful process of becoming.
