Defined by its infusion of imagery from mass media and the American zeitgeist, The first Pop Art movement rose to prominence in America in the late 1950s and early 1960s which influenced the new generation of artists included in this exhibition. The Pop Art & Graffiti artists work is documented for its innovative techniques and sensibilities that appealed to heightened interests of mechanical reproduction applying various media including traditional brush painting, poured paint, spray paint on 2D canvas, and 3D sculpture. However, despite the adoption of the visual language of mass culture and consumerism, from digital media and pop cartoons to magazine and social media advertisements, Pop artists today continued to foreground the medium of painting surfaces in their practices.
It is our pleasure to announce that Khawam Gallery is now located at 700 S. Rosemary Ave, Suite 204 in West Palm Beach, Florida U.S.A. – 12/29/2021

CROSSING BORDERS: Artists from the Middle East and America
MIAMI, Fla. (December 19, 2021) – Khawam Gallery is pleased to announce its forthcoming participation in the SCOPE Art Show. The in-person fair during Art Miami week will take place 30 November to 5 December 2021 in Miami, FL. The gallery presents “Crossing Borders: Artists from the Middle East and America”. A selection of works by Six Middle Eastern, Swiss-American, and Cuban contemporary artists.
The exhibition showcases the works by artists from Cuba, Israel, Syria, and Switzerland share the art about their cultural history intertwined with the American experience, and the impact of their heritage, immigration, and the new American culture on their lives and art making. Although the artworks may differ esthetically, there is much that connects them conceptually. Common threads are recurrent references to their heritage history, shared experiences, indigenous mythologies, and social norms. The featured artists often invoke national art histories, either in tribute or subversion, but also engage with current happenings, and international artistic trends. These artists enter into dialogues with the traditions of the past at the same time that they participate in current global artistic discussions. Their simultaneous engagement with the past, present, and the future speaks to a singular creative present.
The artists explore history, create commentary around current happenings with mark making techniques, materials, and process in a variety of media. The exchange of ideas and acknowledgement of influence of these artists have long comprised the tenets of creative production by creating a new lexicon of post-modern commentary and imagistic anarchy, intentionally borrowing and sharing pictures that were local to their heritage and experience as a way of breaking apart conventional notions of ownership. Whether the implications are laudatory, reverent, academic, or incendiary, the playful, storied history of “originality” in art bears closer examination.
