Mohammed Adel

Mohammed Adel’s paintings offer a window into the personal nuances of British-Bengali identity. He pairs family albums and imagery, notions of culture and space with ambiguity, intangibility and awkwardness.

Using Adel’s home as a reference, his works bring home the tensions between the familiar and the distant, the personal and the universal. They reflect the gap that exists between identities, the difference between remembering details and trying to imagine yourself into spaces that were once a lived reality.

Opening times: Wed–Fri 12–5pm, Sat 12–4pm
Address: 6 Dorset Place, Brighton, BN2 1ST

Free admission, all welcome.
