ArtDayME: According to the announcement of Lawrie Shabibi, Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim presents two sculptures – The Form (2024) and The Ghaf Tree (2024) at Frieze Sculpture 2024 in Regent’s Park, London.

For the first time, Ibrahim’s iconic papier mâché sculptures have been recast for outdoor display using fiberglass, resin, and polystyrene over a steel armature.

The Form draws from the desert landscape of Khor Fakkan, resembling ancient tools or figures, while The Ghaf Tree pays tribute to the resilient Ghaf, a symbol of survival and strength in the UAE’s desert environment.
