About Artist
Born in Latroun, Palestine, in 1943, Nabil Anani is a key founder of the contemporary Palestinian art movement. Anani graduated with a degree in fine art from Alexandria University in 1969. On his return to Palestine, he began a career as an artist and a teacher-trainer at the United Nations college in Ramallah. Anani held his first exhibition in Jerusalem in 1972 and has since exhibited widely in solo and group shows in Europe, North America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Japan. His works are exhibited in many museums and private collections including Institut du monde arabe (Paris, France), the Agha Khan Museum (Toronto, Canada), the Guggenheim Museum (New York, US), and the Jordanian National Museum (Amman).
A multitalented artist, Anani works as a painter, ceramicist, and sculptor. He pioneered the use of local media such as leather, henna, natural dyes, papier-mâché, wood, beads, and copper; and over the past four decades, he has built an impressive catalogue of outstanding, innovative, and unique art. Anani is also the coauthor of a number of books on Palestinian arts and folklore. Anani was awarded the first Palestinian National Prize for Visual Art in 1997 by Yasser Arafat. He later became the head of the League of Palestinian Artists and played a key role in the establishment of the first International Academy of Fine Art in Palestine. In 2006, Anani was awarded the prestigious King Abdallah II Arab World Prize for Fine Art. He lives and works in Ramallah.
