About the Book
We live in a world of great things. We think about great things. We take in the big picture. But,
as many artists know, the world is full of smaller details. And, it is in the big picture that we
often forget the details; And, often to our own peril.
In the paintings of Karim Hamid, attention to the finer points becomes everything. Whether it
is a simple movement of paint, or a rubbed out object, almost everything has its place. More so,
everything makes its mark of importance. When looking at his paintings, it is best to think
about an orchestra. Each instrument plays its part in the whole. In Hamid’s work, each facet
plays a part in the overall whole. To look at his paintings is not enough it seems. To look closer
is everything.
In a sort of celebration of the constant discovery of those who have seen his work in person. We
wanted to devote a little book to Karim Hamid’s finer points - to sharing some of the smaller
elements that often hide in his larger gesture.
