About the artwork
"There is a certain fuzziness in my mind where boundaries are lost. A place as fuzzy as a cloud, but just as vast as the sky. Maybe it comes as a mixture of both extremes of oriental thinking: Buddhist and Middle Eastern. When I make small sculptures, I am making condensed expressions of an urban story. Sculptures invade spaces and inhabit the- they are tactile presences that stir memories, associations and imagination." - Nadim Karam
About the artist
Lebanese artist and architect Nadim Karam’s multi-disciplinary approach
incorporates painting, drawing, sculpture and writing. Fusing various
cultural influences, Karam’s works transcend social, political and
national borders, forming a unique pictorial language replete with
recurring symbols and with original characters and narratives.
They form an alphabet of sorts, in what is an ongoing, sometimes
absurdist, exploration of the creative power of dreams. Renowned for his public art and work in urban regeneration, Karam was recently lauded for his architectural plan, The Cloud,
which made international headlines for its revolutionary ideas on how
to reconfigure public space amidst Dubai’s growing cityscape.
