My First Street Art

Salaam Everyone! 

Hope you had a wonderful Eid.... 

Here are some snapshot's of my first street art paste... An efficient way to introduce your art to the public...
So keep an eye around you because I will be posting more of these in the streets... 


The work resembles a shot from a classic Gulf T.V show "Rgayya o Sabeecha"

The show among many others has been drawn in everyone's memory in the region, the perforemance and the content are one of the great factors that we lack nowadays

I found a spot that goes perfectly with the subject - where a building has just been knocked down and only traces of some walls left there



If you liked it then you might be interested to know that I will be having some of them launched as part of Motu's merchandise collection ^^ 

You can check more of Motu's in our official blog here.



All the best, 
Tam

Time to hang some postcards!

Hello Everyone! 

Here's a fast way to hang your pictures, artwork, and postcards without the trouble of drilling holes into your wall! 

I am sure some might have gone across a similar idea online but here's what I have done in 30 -45 min:

What you need to have (Colors are acrylic matt, which are suitable to multiple surfaces like wood, pottery and metal)



When you are done painting the washed-clothes' clips it would be good to spray it with a matt varnish for a long term use (make sure the clips are totally dried and be careful when applying the varnish)



End result ^_^ Done in 45 min including drying and cleaning time! haha


Time to hang your favourite postcards!


And some of your work ;)

That way you can easily change them every now and then!


Salaam!

I am the other

Hello everyone! 

I have participated recently in the exhibition "I am the other" which is taking a place in an abandoned resturant in the "eventful" Adliya. "Bohemia" with its destroyed walls and broken windows seemed to be the perfect place for a group of young artists to showcase their talent. 



"I am the other" is a concept that demonstrates how we include and exclude the others...How we go one building walls to keep the other away. IT is also shows that, for the others, you your self become " the other". 

Each artist translated this concept differently, here are some images for the exhibition and some of the great work it has... 




Across the entrance, is the work of Nada Alaradi where she puts you and the other in a glass window to portray the idea that one can be the other within moments


An artwork by Mohammad Falamarzy on the elevators doors... You can guess that the artists didn't leave an empty spot




On the left from Falamarzy's, Brad filled a whole room with artworks that "literally" puts east and west face to face!


On the other side, Adel Alabbasi had his installation of post-its sketches

On your way up, the ambient atmosphere from a little room drags you into Ahmad Anan's lighting fixtures


On the first floor, a work done by my friend Edd for a litrature piece written by Sabeeka Alshamlan

Another Paste-work by Edd

Another great art work by Leon.D, a part of 3-murals concept

Across from Leon's, two contradicting artworks by another friend of mine; Huvil



And in the other rooms comes my installation art/ live perforemance where I had a whole 3 walls filled with "Alsha'b Yoreed" or "People Demand" with me crossing each one to write "Ana Oreed" or "I want" instead.




Concept: 

Living in a time when words like "religion" and "human rights" are being abused; politics became the main theme subject for the young and the old...
"al-sha'b yoreed" or "people demand" has been extremely popular until it reached a point where it became an expression for the individual rights rather than group rights... The piece demonstrates this conflict between "I" and "the people" and how "alsha'b yoreed" has been abused to represent rather individual demands for the price of the others'.






Thank you for visiting ^_^

Salaam!
