Abdulnasser Gharem Website:
Abdulnasser is a Saudi Arabian artist who we had the pleasure of getting to know during the Edge of Arabia exhibition in the Brunei gallery in September 08. He has the unique position of being a Major in the army as well as conceptual artist. His work is very stripped back, honest and raw and we wanted the site to reflect this.
Rather than just duplicating his artwork on the home page we felt it would be more interesting to make graphic representations of key elements and symbols from his projects such as ‘the path’, and ‘no more tears’. This involved interesting typographic experiments blending English characters with Arabic (using the actual stamps used in the artworks)
It was admittedly a little nerve-wracking presenting an artist with alternative versions of his work but happily he loved the concept and went as far a describing it ‘as an artwork in itself’ which is about as much as we could have hoped for.
