Alanbari & Saatchi Gallery Education

Alanbari’s art classes at The Saatchi Gallery are different to what is offered elsewhere because they approach painting with a focus on self development. At the heart of the workshops is the student, their discovering and expressing what is important to them, through a playful and experimental approach using acrylic paint and collage. What is important is to develop one’s own artistic style and language in order to create art works that are personal and meaningful.

Alanbari first taught at the Saatchi Gallery in 2014 and has since curated ‘The In Between’ exhibition there. She is interested challenging the stereotyping of people and places and most of her work addresses this. She believes in the power of art to express the ‘unsayable’ and in its power to move, heal and stimulate people across cultures.

Alanbari is of Iraqi and French upbringing and has been a proud Londoner for the past fourteen years. She is a qualified architect and exhibition curator, with Masters degrees from Chelsea College of Art, The London School of Economics and The Ecole Speciale d’Architecture Paris.
