In recent years I have been following the work of Kareem Rizk. He is Melbourne based Australian artist who started making collages in 2005. After only a few weeks of promoting his work Rizk was offered several opportunities for printed publication and exposure in Australia and the UK. Soon after this came offers to exhibit the artwork in galleries.
Working mediums include collage, acrylic, oil pastel, pencil, solvent transfers and acrylic transfers. His work is highly textured and often multi-layered with a nostalgic and worn and textured quality. I love the use of typography and choice of images that are combined to create a variety of amazing compositions.
Rizk's recent works will be featured in an upcoming group exhibition, 'All That Remains' in New York, amongst a group of other talented artists.
