Rama AlFarkh opens this Thursday at SCAG

“Dissonant Harmony”, works by Rama AlFarkh, opens this Thursday, August 29th, at 5PM at SCAG:

Rama AlFarkh was born in Amman, 1997, she obtained a BA in Physics from The University of Jordan in 2019. She was influenced by some philosophical studies related to self-idealism and the dialectic of linking epistemology and ontology in an attempt to perceive a more comprehensive nature of human: one can delve deeper into himself. She started her artistic career in 2015 and has participated in several local and international group exhibitions. She’s a member of Jordanian plastic artists association, and she won the Rise Up contest first prize in Amman, 2019.

Rama AlFarkh paintings are multi-handed, abstracted figures evoking inner scenes for human creatures in subconscious. Though we are individual, subconscious is multiple. Creatures in Rama’s work are characterised by strength/weakness, dense scarcity and acute affluence; they are in a moving state. She reassigns body parts through a mixture of trials and mistakes to create something from nothing. During the process, Rama is seeking to ask larger questions about our inner identity, And what is the limit of the human ability to create inside his inner space with the accumulation of time? Her art aims to capture the viewer’s attention and suggest that there may be more to discover within ourselves which may be key to better self-awareness. Each piece is an open monologue that allows the viewer to reflect and interpret further on their inner journey.
