Born in Dubai, based in London, artist Adham Faramawy's practice centres around the distortion and emphasis of how commercial forms are marketed.

 

A graduate from The Royal Academy Schools, in 2013 Adham Faramawy exhibited in ‘Abstract Cabinet’, David Roberts Art Foundation, London, ‘Diamond Dust- A shifting grammar of originality’, Circa Projects at Edinburgh Arts Festival and ‘Open Heart Surgery’ at The Moving Museum, London. He was selected for this year’s ‘Bloomberg New Contemporaries’ exhibiting in Spike Island Bristol and ICA, London and had work screened as part of ‘Flatness: Cinema After the Internet’, Oberhausen Film Festival, curated by Shama Khanna and Anthea Hamilton. In 2012 he was commissioned by Legion TV to produce ‘Total Flex 2’, an online video work with downloadable desktop program and he last exhibited at Cell Project Space in ‘Chimera QTE’, curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini. In 2014 his work will be included in ‘Pre-pop to Post-human: Collage in the Digital Age’, Hayward Touring, UK.
