Press Release

Cncve aims to address questions of our material instability with those around the cyclical path of history. Bin Fahad’s portraits contemporize history, presenting possible futures interwoven with the outcomes of actual events, leaving room to wonder on the impermanence of the past, present, and future. 

 

His works consider both the retroactive and the contemporary as interlinked in the relationship between what happened and what could’ve happened. Bin Fahad proposes questions of “What would differ if another person reached a position of power? If an assassination failed? Or the unsung lived in larger recognition?” 

 

Cncve visualizes the past through reimaging existing images and figureheads, highlighting that the past defines the future. Bin Fahad works to recontextualize the impact of history, prompting the acknowledgement of times overlooked.
