Meet the artist & maker

Kareem trained at London College of Printing and has worked as a commercial artist/graphic designer for over thirty five years, mainly in London, Amsterdam and York. Recently he has turned his attention more to self-expression, reconnecting with and exploring painting, mark making and print. Typography still plays an important part in his work but more in a layered, abstracted manner. Working from his attic studio in Fulford, Kareem works with a variety of media.
