Description |
Almigdad Aldikhaiiry's "Dear-born" (2021) Oil on paper Almigdad Aldikhaiiry is an environmental artist who has devoted his artistic expertise to nature and climate change for over ten years. He also looks at his art as a means to fight crises, especially in this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Whether long-term, significant changes in our environment happen naturally or in response to human activities, the evidence for rapid climate change is compelling, and Almigdad believes art can make a difference in the way we, as a global community, respond to it. His residency with AANM in 2021 was spent developing on an oil painting series related to the environment, pollution and climate change, for a future exhibition at AANM, titled "Existence," including works commissioned by the Museum. Almigdad Aldikhaiiry is a Sudanese artist currently based in the U.S. Since graduating from the Fine Arts College in Khartoum, he has travelled across the globe working as a painter and contemporary artist for several years. Aldikhaiiry has shown in a variety of prominent galleries across the Middle East. His work has recently been featured in galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Denver and Detroit with overwhelmingly positive reception. His most passionate subject continues to be tackling climate change and environment, spending much of the last decade focused on expressing his thoughts and feelings on pollution and the environment through his art, as he firmly believes the work of artists and his contribution can make a difference by creating attention and awareness. |
