Nuha Saad, A Lightness of Touch, 2024, acrylic on wood, 3 posts varying sizes, 163 x 11 x 11 cm, 135 x 11 x 11 cm, 115 x 11 x 11 cm

In her latest exhibition, Colour in Form, Nuha Saad continues her fascination with the ornamental and the architectural. Through investigations in colour and form, Saad presents a new body of sculptural floor and wall works in an expanded chromatic palette. Forgoing her usual high-key, vivid colour spectrum Saad instead turns to a pared back palette and tertiary hues. To this end, although solid to the touch, Saad’s sculptures appear ethereal – as if floating in space. For Saad, colour embodies the seemingly conflicting notions of order and expression, and is as intrinsic to her works as form and structure.

Nuha Saad is a Sydney based artist, whose work is gaining increasing attention for its spatial dynamism and play. Saad has received a slew of awards and finalist nominations in recent years. She has accomplished numerous major public art commissions, and has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. Her work is held in the collections of ARTBANK, City of Sydney, Randwick City Council and Royal Melbourne Hospital, as well as private collections throughout Australia and the US.
