Karim Hamid’s paintings function as a psychic response to an unconvincing onslaught of media superficiality and the pervasive objectification of the female form in art history. The goal of his paintings seems to be to distort and exaggerate this emphasis on an idealized form.

In his paintings he is focused mostly on the psychic condition of the person observed, something not readily available to the conditioned eye. In his portraits, or anonymous found imagery, he expects the same thing – to find something broader in the meaning and composure.

“While the imagery is often distorted or exaggerated in my work, I also expect my work to express itself within its own polemical and painterly distortion of that distortion. It is about the thing/person being observed, as well as the method of being observed.”

After participating in the SCOPE ART FAIRS in NYC in March 2009 and in Basel in June 2009, AUREUS Contemporary will once again be presenting the paintings of Karim Hamid and Sara Carter at SCOPE MIAMI. Following the successful receptions in NYC and Basel, the curating team of QRATE is excited to share with you all new works from both artists. 

the SCOPE Miami Art Fair will take place December 2-6, 2009 in the Wynwood Arts District. We hope to see you there. If you’d like further information please don’t hesitate to contact us here at QRATE.
