About the Item

Nadim Karam is a Lebanese artist, architect, and urban planner known for his diverse body of work that includes sculpture, painting, installations, and urban interventions. Born in 1957 in Senegal, he spent his early childhood in West Africa before moving to Lebanon. Karam received his education in architecture from the American University of Beirut and later pursued further studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. He has since established himself as a leading figure in the field of contemporary art and urban design. Karam creates narratives engaging with cities and landscapes through large-scale sculptures. Based on his conviction that cities should dream, Karam’s art practice in the public sphere responds to contemporary challenges, social realities, and eternal quests of identity. His site-specific projects engage in re-examining contextual issues and enhancing perceptions of diversity within society, taking a playful and often absurdist approach even when addressing the most critical issues. Karam’s formative years in Lebanon and his doctoral studies in Japan are defining influences in his work. Studying under prominent Japanese architects Hiroshi Hara, Fumihiko Maki and Tadao Ando, he approached architecture through philosophies of eastern thought and concepts of space. From his early projects of performance art in Tokyo, he developed a language of forms relating to spaces, memories, and peoples. His public art projects emerged as a natural synthesis of his architectural affinity for urban contexts and his auto-didactic artistic output.

Born december 19 1958, De Keyzer studied at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten, Eeklo, lead by professional sculptor Leo De Buysere. In a time and environment where creativity was considered disturbing, rather than being a merit, the young Dirk De Keyzer found it hard to decide in which direction to head with his life. Like so many boys of his age, he was sent out to learn a craft, destined to go to work in a factory. Other horizons would call though, and that's how he ended up in the Royal academy of Eeklo. It was there that he discovered his predilection for bronze. It became more and more obvious that bronze would be the only medium for Dirk to give expression to his inner most thoughts and artwork.
