Abubakar Akram has been a resident artist at ActionSpace\u2019s Brent studio since 2017. His inventive practice explores space and dimensionality, with a focus on sculptural forms that emerge organically through an experimental process. Alongside his sculptures, Abubakar creates vibrant, colourful pencil drawings that explore 3D shapes and spatial relationships.<\/p>\n

Using materials such as bamboo sticks, Modroc, wire, cardboard, and paint, Abubakar constructs bold, tactile structures. His work is characterised by solid colours, grid-like patterns, and intersecting lines, often echoing the strong architectural shapes and geometries that inspire him. There is a constant dialogue between precision and play in his sculptures, as they evolve organically in response to the materials and the process, revealing a unique tension between structure and spontaneity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
