untitled and fa.fn 10, oil on canvas from photo collage, Karim Hamid.

An excerpt from the artist statement:

I am most interested in the process by which the female figure is objectified by the archetypal male gaze. Art history is a rich source from which to cull a broad sense [sic] in the singular pursuit of the idealized female form. The goal in my paintings and photo collage is to exaggerate and distort that emphasis, to give it an alternative life and function.
