Jordanian Art... Freshly Squeezed

At 6:00 pm on Tuesday June 10,2008

Featuring the works of the following Jordanian artists:

 

Bashar Alaeddin

With a business management major and a passion for visual imagery, Bashar is a visionary with a plan; he has shown us that you don't have to be experienced and old in this industry to have a future. Breaking down barriers to create a playing field for young Jordanian visual artists to bring their artwork from behind the desks to everyday mainstream culture.

   Amer M. Kokh

"I breathe art, eat paper and drink ink…. I'm just an Artoholic"A self taught artist, Cartoonist and director (owner of crazy Piranha). He has been working in the business of animation for 10 years with MTV comedy central, spike TV and Dubai Channels.

 Natalie HijaziArt has always been my biggest drive in life, my experiences ranging from painting, sculpting, jewelry making to animation, but it wasn’t until I received my first digital pen and tablet did I discover the magic of digital painting, and with it grew my love for illustration. Today I consider myself more of an Illustrator rather than an ‘artist’, as I find it one of the best means of story-telling through art.

Sabri Hakim

Self-taught photographer that's been active for 3 years now. I have worked for corporations such as CNN and Getty images, as well as several advertising agencies, documentaries and a feature film. 

Sima Bustami 

Jordanian Artist, graduated from Concordia University in Montreal with a BFA in Painting and Drawing and a certificate in Video Production. Lived and worked abroad for 8 years and is now settled in Amman; works with a variety of mediums including painting, drawing and video. Her figurative work confronts the viewer with spilled emotions and inner realities. Reflecting the chaotic nature of the self and the world around it.   

Faridon Abida

I graduated from Yarmouk University from the Fine Arts Department with a degree in Graphic Design. Upon graduation, I became the designer for several front row publishing's magazines, including Living Well, Jordan Business, and Pulp, and I am currently the Art Director for the publishing house. My true passion, when it comes to art, is photography. However, illustrations come in a very close second place.

After my first solo exhibition, "eXposed," in March of 2007, and group exhibition presented by Jaguar, "Leap of Art," in March 2008.  

Nisreen Al-Saleh

My dream is to sell you back your own dreams, and to encircle your city with advertising, and images that signify a new lifestyle of lavishness and luxury, even though they contrast harshly with the reality we live in. My first ever strategy was to bundle my crayon drawings with personalized bookmarkers to sell to family and friends, which they were more or less emotionally blackmailed into buying. Since my own personal morals contradict my destined job, I created Brand Terrorist which is a medium in which I reflect on my own personal opinion about brands and advertising, where I present challenges and moral dilemmas, by combining many forms of art to portray my message. But I remain addicted to advertising "a world with no competition is not in function". 

 

Rami Afifi

Orphaned as a baby when his parents were killed overseas in a plane crash as U.S. government spies, only child Rami Afifi was raised by his elderly Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Academically gifted, Rami displayed an uncanny affinity for science that was nothing short of genius. Socially, however, he was painfully shy and the target of much cruelty by his peers at Midtown High School. Attending a public science exhibit when Rami was 15-years old, he was bitten on the hand by a radioactive spider accidentally irradiated by a particle beam, empowering Rami with the arachnid's proportional strength and agility, and the ability to cling to almost any surface. Most incredibly, he had gained a sixth sense that provided him with early warning of impending danger. Using his scientific prowess, he constructed a pair of artificial web-shooters that attached to his wrists. With an agent, a costume, and a new name, Spider-Man became an overnight sensation.
