What Night Does

Abdulrahim Sharif

Art isn’t created from a single idea yet a given title allows us to explore these multitudes as a collective. In his works, artist Abdulrahim Sharif separates the literal notion of who he is as a person and that metaphorical being of existence through intangible senses. Through profound visual work,
skillful techniques and pushing the storytelling limits of art itself, Sharif expresses what is in his heart of hearts through painting: his ideas about the world, about the secrets that rise from the ashes of darkness and the truths he discovers in ordinary humanity. All of his ideas, stubborn and intimate, float to the surface through his artworks.
