The Art Gallery of New South Wales presents A Promise: Khaled Sabsabi, a solo exhibition of major works by senior Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi, who migrated from Lebanon with his family in the 1970s to escape civil war. Since 2001, regular visits to his birthplace and surrounding countries have inspired a body of work exploring the entwinement of spiritual belief, politics and conflict.

A Promise will bring together immersive works made over the last 20 years alongside intimate recent paintings that evoke the politics of person and place. It includes large-scale time-based works from the Gallery’s collection – such as Organised confusion (2014), which explores heightened states of fanaticism and transcendence among Western Sydney Wanderers football fans.

This exhibition is produced by the Gallery in partnership with the Campbelltown Arts Centre and the artist.
