520			_aAn illuminating look at one of the Middle Easts pioneering contemporary artists, this survey is the first to explore the life and work of Saudi artist Ahmed Mater Aseeri. Maters work, exhibited at the Venice Biennale and in the collection of the British Museum, is informed by his education and life as a medical doctor, as well as by religious symbols and Saudi culture. His work is described as being neither painting nor calligraphy, but combining elements of both. The book examines four of Maters most important works, and includes essays by leading scholars and critics. Catherine Davids foreword positions Maters work within the cultural context of the Persian Gulf, while the books elegant design evokes the artists Middle Eastern sensibility.
