About Abu Jafar
 


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.
