Omar Najjar
Omar Najjar is known for his innovative style that he describes as “structured chaos.” His paintings come across as a modern take on impressionism; their quotidian subject matter is elevated to the sublime, providing a profound, if understated, view of the human experience. Expertly manipulating oil, pastels and charcoal, Omar’s instantly recognizable work is characterized by broad brush strokes that give a suggestion to the story without giving the details fully.
Born in 1992 in Amman, Jordan, Omar Najjar graguated from the Jordan University’s Fine Arts Department. The artist group and solo exhibitions include BBA Gallery, Berlin, Germany (2018), Zara Gallery, Amman, Jordan (2018), Wadi Finan, Amman, Jordan (2016); Al Bareh Gallery, Bahrain (2016); Fann A Porter, Dubai, UAE (2015); Nabad Art Gallery, Amman, Jordan (2014),
Omar Najjar’s works are housed in various private and public institutions including the Palestine Museum, USA.
