Aziz Qahtani describes his art as a personal exploration and dialogue with himself. Born in Saudi Arabia, he grew up in Riyadh and London, and as a child he created several ingenious artworks by mixing acrylic paints and nail polishers to cover the faces of people on photographs.
Stylistically, Al Qahtani’s works are much harder to explain than what a first analysis could make believe, being inspired by multiple references such as Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Marc Chagall and fashion designers like YvesSaintLaurent and Chanel, historical aristocratic and military costumes. He distills multiple viewpoints in his unique and evolving style of photography. As one of London’s most prodigious visual artists, his approach subverts the norm and can present seemingly controversial dualities of beauty and violence. Al Qahtani lives and works in London. Exhibitions: Solo: An Intimate Geography - 2010/2011 - London. Group: STOCK - May/June 2011 - London. ____________________________________ CONTACT: Aziz Qahtani M: 077 8989 8984 (within UK) M: 004477 8989 8984 (intl calls) E: [email protected] W: http://azizqahtani.com facebook.com/azizqahtani twitter.com/azizqahtani Verified Credits (0)Worked with Aziz Qahtani?
