British Palestinian artist Rosalind Nashashibi is a painter and filmmaker. She is preoccupied with looking, in a way that almost crosses over into the subject's camp, passing onto the side of the observed in a way that can be disconcerting. Her films chronicle intimate moments of contemporary life across diverse circumstances with a deeply empathetic and personal approach. Nashashibi's work is marked with precise references to other filmmakers and painters- such as Hockney and Degas and the filmmakers Pasolini and Chantal Akerman. Her films are often non-linear, punctuated by manifestations of power dynamics and collective histories. Subjects have included non-nuclear family structures, the multiple personae of the artist and chronicling Palestinian life. In her painting, sentimental or overbearing motifs such as a pair of swans or a X, intrigue us into looking at them anew, and her references to historical paintings are dives into the past to bring back new experiences. - GrimmGallery
