New releases from the Solo Series for artists Saad Almasari and Fouad Mougharbel, a powerful tribute by to pioneering artists who have shaped the Saudi art scene.

In “Taibah: Remnants and Solace,” Mougharbel reconstructs Al Madinah as both lived experience and spiritual landscape through memory, light, and architectural recollection.

In “Geometry as Thought,” Almasari approaches form through geometry and proportion, drawing from Islamic aesthetics and Saudi architecture.

Marking Saudi Arabia’s inaugural participation in the Triennale di Milano, “Maghras: A Farm for Experimentation”, named after the research hub and community space in the oasis of Al Ahsa—explores how knowledge can be cultivated collectively, how environmental transformation shapes cultural memory, and how research can emerge from places often overlooked in dominant narratives of progress.

The publication documents research, fieldwork, and newly commissioned projects by architects, artists, and practitioners who have engaged with farmers, craftspeople, and residents of Al Ahsa.

Through essays, images, oral histories, and archival material, it reflects on the shifting relationship between land, water, and community within a landscape transformed by modernization and urban expansion.

“Art Across the Arabian Gulf”, co-published with brings together 78 pioneering artists from across the Gulf to trace the region’s artistic evolution from the mid-twentieth century through the 1990s. The book explores how artists in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates forged modern visual languages rooted in their cultural and environmental contexts.

Through five main themes - cultural heritage, maritime life, resilience, abstraction, and material experimentation - the publication reconsiders the foundations of Gulf art, highlighting creativity, continuity, and a shared regional identity.
