Over several decades, the artist made an investigation of the relationship between nature and art her central point of focus. Adnan\u0026rsquo;s multi-linguistic practice traversed cultures and disciplines. For her, the act of drawing and writing was embedded in a deep engagement with the different aspects of human existence. In the 1960s, she began integrating Arabic calligraphy into her artworks and poetry books, influenced by\u003cem\u003e hurufiyya\u003c/em\u003e \u0026mdash; an aesthetic movement that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century amongst artists in Islamic regions of the world, who combined tradition and modernity in an attempt to develop a culturally specific visual language. Adnan\u0026rsquo;s drawing practice was also strongly inspired by Japanese leporello art. Floating between text and image, drawing and sculpture, and with an emphasis on colour and gesture, she made poems and landscapes on folded paper that can be presented as free-standing drawings.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nSeveral works from this series were presented at M HKA in 2021, during the exhibition \u003cem\u003eEURASIA \u0026minus; A Landscape of Mutability\u003c/em\u003e.

Decennialang heeft de kunstenaar het onderzoek naar de relatie tussen natuur en kunst centraal geplaatst. Adnans multi-lingu\u0026iuml;stische praktijk doorkruist verschillende culturen en disciplines. Voor haar was tekenen en schrijven verankerd in een diep engagement met de verschillende aspecten van het menselijk bestaan. In de jaren 1960 ging ze Arabische kalligrafie integreren in haar kunstwerken en gedichtenbundels, mede ge\u0026iuml;nspireerd door\u003cem\u003e hurufiyya\u003c/em\u003e \u0026ndash; een esthetische stroming die in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw opkwam onder kunstenaars uit islamitische regio\u0026rsquo;s, die traditie en moderniteit combineerden in een poging om een cultuurspecifieke beeldtaal te ontwikkelen. Adnans tekenpraktijk werd ook sterk be\u0026iuml;nvloed door de Japanse leporellokunst. Op de grens tussen tekst en beeld, tekening en sculptuur, en met een bijzondere nadruk op kleur en gebaar, cre\u0026euml;erde zij gedichten en landschappen op gevouwen papier die als vrijstaande tekeningen kunnen worden gepresenteerd.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nVerschillende werken uit deze reeks werden in 2021 in het M HKA getoond , tijdens de tentoonstelling\u003cem\u003e EURASIA \u0026ndash; Een landschap van veranderlijkheid\u003c/em\u003e.
