Rosalind Nashashibi is a London-based filmmaker and artist whose practice incorporates painting, printmaking, and photography.
Nashashibi describes her process as one of intuitive connections, where images cannot be interpreted definitely, and multiple conclusions are allowed to be reached. In the work on display, the silhouette of a child appears in the foreground facing a crepuscular landscape through a window. The child’s hand rests on the glass pane in an ambiguous manner, yet the pose in universally familiar one of watching the world from one’s own standpoint.
Nashashibi is currently an artist-in-residence at the National Gallery in London. She was the recipient of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation award, Whitechapel Gallery’s John Kobal New Work Award, and was the first female artist to receive Beck’s Futures Art Prize in 2003. In 2017 Nashashibi was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. Recent and forthcoming solo exhibitions include a presentation at Musée Art Contemporain Carré d’Art - Jean Bousquet, Nîmes (FR) and at CAC Vilnius (LT) in 2021.
The artist will have a forthcoming exhibition at the National Gallery of London (UK) this year.
