Abu Jafar ARBS is an acclaimed leading artist and Philosopher
of the arts. Since last Spring 2005 Jafar has created some
very unusual and fresh work in collaboration with Ewa Wawrzyniak
including the installation “The Wonder Burghley”
This project is a site-specific Installation form of sculpture
containing 12 structures. The presentation combines paintings,
drawings, blown glass, fused glass and pure interaction
with its natural surroundings. Over the time, the sculpture
has evolved with additional structures to a current length
of thirty meters. The latest extensions have added some
new dimension to the installation. Wonder through the windows
and look beyond....“Wonder Burghley”.
"The
Wonder Garden" Sculpture at Sir Harold Hillier Garden,
Romsey Hampshire, UK. It was one of the largest sculptures
in the Park. This Sculpture was with 7 wooden structures,
line Drawing, blown glass, stone and Nature. It was almost
15 meter long.
Taking
his inspiration from psychology, philosophy, classical music
as well as day-to-day human existence. By producing art
that is far from traditional, He is actively attempting
to shatter staid ideas of the past regarding art; his art
is the synthesis of colour, element and presentation twisted
into unusual form. In late January 1995 he moved from London
to Brockhall Village at the heart of the Ribble Valley,
Lancashire. Where his patron Mr. Gerald Hitman (Tycoon of
property developer) had given him an extensive building
as studio, living space and for him to develop it into a
gallery for ten years. However after a year and half Mr.
Hitman was unable to fulfil his promise consequently he
moved to London again in November 1996. After 16 years in
the UK, now he is immigrating to Montreal, Canada. Where
he is planning to establish a Sculpture Park & Museum
of Contemporary Art'
He
is experimenting with oil colour, acrylic, watercolour and
glass. Light, powder colour, cloth, water, smoke, snow and
sound have used in his audiovisual installations. Some of
his work has featured aspects of painting and sculpture
lending it a truly hybrid character.
Most
of his large scale Installations involved nature, public
and the environment. These are simply based on glass, steel,
light and sounds. His work simplifies our daily lives and
the diversity of mankind in his imaginative notion in a
way that reflects imaginative power and ever changing creative
forces of new formative arts. Abu Jafar become an Associate
member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in February
2007.
