NABIL NAHAR ART COMMISSION
£4000 (including expenses) offered to successful applicant
Nabil Nahar OC died tragically young in 2018 aged 45. At School his interests lay in the arts and as a businessman he acted as an art broker, running his own art gallery in Kuala Lumpa. His OC friends came up with idea of commissioning an artwork for Cranleigh School from a young OC as a way of remembering him.
Cranleigh School invites current art and design undergraduates (those who left after 2003) and recent OC graduates of the arts to propose a site specific permanent visual artwork to be placed somewhere within the School. While there is no theme or particular form the artwork must take we would like to honour the values of Nabil and his family: The final commissioned artwork should respond to a particular place within the School, either indoors or outdoors; the artwork should be aligned to Islamic traditions (no depiction of persons or animals can be part of the design, and an abstract, pattern, or text based design is more likely to meet the requirements of the commission); it should be respectful of the school’s ethos, enhance the school environment and respond to the community, principally the students in its development. The School website provides lots of background information in this regard.
