Hamad Butt's art evokes themes of danger and mortality, bridging personal experience with broader societal issues related to HIV and the Aids crisis.
The upcoming exhibit 'Apprehensions' aims to reintroduce Hamad Butt's work, showcasing both his hazardous installations and early career artworks, framing him as a significant but often overlooked artist.
According to co-curator Dominic Johnson, Butt's response to Aids art challenges the perception that British artists did not engage with the crisis, illustrating a unique and nuanced perspective.
Butt's work requires viewer caution, evidenced by incidents involving hazardous installations, highlighting the risks intertwined with his artistic expression and the exploration of fear and desire.
