Práctica artística
[editar]Al-Hadid construye grandes esculturas arquitectónicas en diferentes materiales, como el poliestireno, yeso, fibra de vidrio, madera y cera. Estos materiales se combinan para dar a la obra la sensación de extrema fragilidad e inmediatez, en contraste con su escala monumental y construcción robusta. El aspecto físico de su trabajo contribuye a articular su preocupación por el derrumbe inevitable de las ambiciosa construccioness humanas. La Torre de Babel, las catedrales medievales, como la de Chartres, y los laberintos, como el laberinto de Creta se encuentran entre las muchas referencias que Al-Hadid utiliza para ilustrar su todo, a un tiempo con grandilocuencia histórica y profundidad personal.
Su último espectáculo, Reverse Collider (2008), integra su interés en la "arquitectura imposible" con el instrumento científico moderno que ha inspirado

Work Description
Diana Al-Hadid is known for a practice that spans media and scale, and examines the historical
frameworks and perspectives that shape our visual, material, and cognitive assumptions. Al-Hadid’s
sculptures, panel works, and works on paper are built up with layers of material and history. Her rich,
formal allusions cross cultures and disciplines, drawing inspiration, not only from the history of distance
civilizations, but also from histories of the materials themselves.
Al-Hadid developed a unique process for her panels that evolved from material studies in her large-scale
sculptures, but which owe a great debt to her flat work. This body of work falls somewhere between
her fully three-dimensional sculptures and her drawings on Mylar, and like all her work, borrow from a
variety of sources ranging from Old Master paintings to the innovative works of the Islamic Golden Age.
The panels are made additively, and originate from the artist’s quick gestural brushwork, methodically
reinforced such that the image dictates the structure. Al-Hadid describes her signature process as
“somewhere between fresco and tapestry”. These works have been made as hanging objects,
architectural interventions, and most recently as outdoor installations.
