The title means ‘the hot, dry wind of the Arabian desert’.  Drawing on the long tradition of landscape painting in the region, the artist here depicts a landscape at odds with itself. Rather than a landscape in the picturesque tradition, Anthony has moved the genre towards abstraction, reflecting the contemporary economic system and the overwhelming evidence of climate change. He draws on themes of the passing of the winds, the turning of the sun and moon, the movement of people around the world and the vital energy that surrounds us.
