NAWFAL SALMAN is concerned with the
notion of the snapshot. Working in a photo-realist manner using
various sources for subject matter in his small-scale
photographic print sized oil paintings, Salman creates precious
objects depicting porn, news-flashes, animals, houses,
landscapes and nostalgic family portraits.
These works represent a subtle re-working of the original source
matter. Painted in varying degrees of realism, some being more
painterly than others, but at the same scale as the original, we
are presented with an illustration of the interaction between
painting and photography and the independence of each.
