BIO:
Reem Rahim is an Iraqi-American artist living and working in northern California. After receiving her BS in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University, she pursued her art studies in Florence, Italy under the tutelage of Rose Shakinovsky and Claire Gavronsky (rosenclaire), with whom she has been studying for 30 years. Reem received her MFA from John F. Kennedy’s department of Arts & Consciousness Studies. She co-founded Numi Organic Tea in 1999.
Reem is interested in the patterns of pain, paradox and beauty within the human experience. She finds her way into her subject matter by drawing on memory and the current day. An un-surfacing and letting go, and a call and response with her materials, her artwork is a playful and often visceral experimentation in abstraction; a co-mingling of expressive color, drawing, found online media images, and text. The picture plane is a place of balancing light and dark, harmony and dissonance.
Reem’s recent work is a response to the current events in Gaza/Israel.
