Ali BANISADR

Perrotin is pleased to participate in the first edition of Art Basel Qatar with a solo presentation by Ali Banisadr. On this occasion, the artist presents Al-Kimiya: The Art of Transformation, an exhibition that unfolds across painting, sculpture, and works on paper to examine humanity’s enduring drive toward becoming—toward change, mutation, and renewal. The title draws from al-kimiyaʾ, the Arabic root of alchemy, understood not merely as material transmutation but as a philosophical and spiritual process: a reconfiguration of perception, knowledge, and being.
