Javaid Hameed: Figurative Surrealism

These striking pieces have been called Figurative Surrealism, as there is often a clear subject or object which is the focal point.

A critic once described these pieces as 'Sculptures on Canvas', as the generous layers of strong natural oil colours help to combine nature and flesh in a three dimensional concentrated visual fusion, thus providing an exciting amalgamation to ponder over.

Each piece forces you to decipher its underlining significance, and for each person this interpretation may be different. You just need to find it.
