About the Artist
Tony Khawam is an established contemporary artist known for his semi-abstracted work of the New York urban and industrial landscape and recently of South Florida. He holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY and has exhibited in galleries throughout the U.S. and Europe. He has experimented with outdoor paintings throughout his artistic career to learn his predecessor artists of the Hudson River school, the impressionism, post-impressionism, fauvism, modernism and created unique contemporary representational body of work.
Khawam studies and observes nature and the surrounding areas near his studios in North New Jersey and South Florida by doing sketches and paintings in plein-air in the Hudson valley New York, and in South Florida to capture the essence of nature and light affects in different time of the day and weather condition. Through his index of images, from childhood memories of historical figures to everyday object painted in a natural urban environment with social commentary. He chronicles his life and the broader culture, synthesizing his visual material by reworking the paintings in his studio with a focus on the form, light with vivid colors to add his signature style.
The Florida paintings are grand testimony of Khawam’s fascination with Florida’s lifestyle which offers spectacular flora and fauna, miles of golden sandy beaches and a dynamic grid like aerial scene, fabulous blue wave ocean, and a canal system with the reminding of Venice and the palm tree as Florida’s iconic symbol for the good life.
Khawam’s work is in museums, corporate and private collections in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, and has been published and interviewed by various art magazines and media outlets.
