Kareem rizk is an Australian artist from collage which explores the printed remnants of the promises, hopes that postwar culture and advertising have carried over time.
With a background in graphic design, much of Rizk's work is highly textured and multi-layered evolving from an intersection where fine art and design they cross.
Kareem has exhibited internationally in galleries and art fairs and his creations are part of private collections around the world.
Your goal is to construct tactile representations of transitory feelings or visions that emerge as you examine a wide range of time-worn collage material.
The Australian creative allows his source material to present aesthetic directions in a cut and paste process that is fluid and immediate, but at the same time visually coherent and deliberate.
Kareem rizk sort, rearrange, trim, cut, fold, rip, scratch and peel off Selected pieces to find interesting connections that reveal an ongoing visual dialogue between graphic design and fine arts.
When each piece is finally formed into the collage and after a series of calculated movements, it is the viewer who finally completes the work, building their own individual stories based on what they observe.
