Showing till mid July at Parish gallery, DC.
Hamid has created a body of work that has successfully brought together typography and abstracted human figures. As a Moroccan and of Berber decent, Hamid Kachmer references patterns and symbols found within the Berber language. This body of work is not a departure from his abstract pattern forms, but he has successfully combined his love for pattern found in typography into abstracted figures. Each abstracted and contorted figure is wrapped with twine, stamped with patterns and type, providing a sense of drama, control and captivity. The use of deep red and browns resembles the earth and bare material, contrasted with bright splashes of color is a bold step towards his art.
Here are some photos of the art.
