Temptation by Saher Nassar reflects a contradiction that is merely a representation of the duality of temptation. A substance that once represented purity and innocence is being adulterated; conversely, it’s about maturity trying to reconnect with its genesis.

Saher Nassar was born in Palestine in 1986. After graduating from the University of Hertfordshire, England, he started a career in illustration and graphic design, working with various renowned media institutions. It didn’t take long before he discovered himself as an artist and embarked on his journey in art. He uses different methods and materials, and his artistic approach varies between conceptual, abstract, and pop art.

He participated in several group exhibitions and was commissioned by Alserkal Avenue (Dubai) and Manarat Al-Saadiyat (Abu Dhabi), amongst others in the UAE. His current practice is centered around contemporary art, and his artworks tend to discuss various subjects and present social critique in correlation with individual conformity and the status quo.

Nassar participated in several art projects and exhibitions, including a group show at Satellite Gallery, Dubai, UAE (2017), a group show at Tashkeel Hub Gallery, Dubai, UAE (2018), in addition to commissions by DIFC, Dubai (2019), Emaar Foundry, Dubai (2019), and BMW, Dubai (2019).
