ASIL Photographs of Arabian Horses by Tariq Dajani at Zara Centre Gallery
16 - 31 March 2008

ASIL is the Arabic word signifying purity, nobility, authenticity and Tariq Dajani’s dramatic images of Arabian horses capture his life-long fascination with these magnificent creatures and recognises their importance in history and culture. The horses featured in this exhibition were photographed entirely in Jordan over a period of a few weeks in 2006 and 2007. Most were photographed in a 'traditional portrait studio' setting, others are portrayed in the spectacular location of the Wadi Rum desert of southern Jordan. While the horses featured are all pure-bred Arabians, they vary from being champion show stallions of the Royal Jordanian Stables, to hard-working endurance horses from privately-owned desert stables. Tariq's interest is less with the credentials of the horse and more with the exploration and presentation of the qualities of the animal's character and personality.

The exhibition will show these beautiful portraits in limited edition photographic prints in regular sizes and select photographs will be shown in a stunning 84cm x 120cm format.
