BIOGRAPHY

Born in the city of Bagdad, Nedim Kufi is an Iraqi – Dutch artist residing and working in the Netherlands. His work often compares Middle Eastern culture and European culture through images and thoughts vested in ambiguity and paradox. Kufi intentionally seeks the gaps within rationality, similarity and contradiction. He is a strong believer in minimalism and through this he hopes to influence the audience’s perception through repetition and overlapping structures. He wishes to remind the viewers of their identities, cognition and social experiences.

Nedim Kufi’s recent works manifest the narration of cultural identity in a historical dimension.

listen to silence. silence is eternity.

Time is relative sensation of the perception of events, as is registered by the body-mind-ego complex “personality” when thoughts disappear, the Original Mind appears the ego needs do nothing. Doing nothing, the self does everything.

BOOK | THE MAGICAL MIND By mre Vallyon

My Concept No-stalgia Since my arrival to the Netherlands, destiny located my house beside a forest. I felt very lucky, as it was a new experience for me to live, walk, think, breath and read books inside a magnificently green forest. The forest is still with me as a wonderful gap where reality is safe and silent. Most of the time, this remarkably inspiring circumstance drives me to recuperative visual solutions. As a clicker-flicker, my eyes get a highly magnified view as if there is one more eye playing around. I begin to see the vibrant effects of colors in nature, refracting and reflecting on me just like a mirror Nature plays the role of a teacher, a friend and allows us to go beyond presumed standards. This is a serious point. Aim: to create a responsive art work What does it means? Well, in terms of ecological Artist, I m trying to provoke a hidden sense, that which provokes feelings of ‘Awe’. To achieve far more with far less.
