Kareem Rizk recently had some art and words featured in the latest issue of Varoom Magazine.

The 12 page lead article is titled ‘The Future Is Junk’. This intriguing article aims to give a concise look into the growing trend of collage, the psychology of collage art, some of the current key contributors to the contemporary world of this genre and where it is heading.

Written by artist, writer and film director, Paul Burgess, the article reveals that carefully collecting images, and the art of destroying them, is often essential in creating a vision of the future that isn’t smoothed over by convention and consensus.

A solo exhibition showcasing the full gamut of working techniques and processes by Melbourne based artist and designer Kareem Rizk. This show is a continuation and further exploration of tying Rizk’s interest and affinity of nostalgic icons and elements of the past into our current world of visual art in the form of mixed media collage. These icons and elements are further characterized by weathered, worn and gritty layers and embellishments which further emphasize the very textured and tactile quality of this handmade work.
