Kareem Rizk
Born in Australia in 1982, Kareem Rizk is a Melbourne-based collage artist, illustrator and designer. Since his shift of focus to fine art and illustration in 2006 and his pursuit of developing his style, Rizk has earned international recognition and has been noted as one of the contemporary masters of collage, as well as one of the premier mixed media artists working today. Working methods also extend to digital collage with a very gritty and realistic display of texture and layering. The digital work began as an experiment in blurring the line between handmade collage and digital collage. Other work includes freelance illustration, design and art commissions for various clients including news and editorial publications, galleries, university institutes, the boutique fashion industry and the music and entertainment industry. Exhibitions include solo shows and group shows in Australia, USA, Europe and the UK including representation at Busacca Gallery in San Francisco where original works by luminaries such as Andy Warhol and Banksy can be found. Rizk's work has been published in numerous high profile art magazines and books and his work is held in private collections worldwide.
