Hassan Rahim

Hassan Rahim
b. 1987, Los Angeles.

Hassan Rahim is an artist and art director living and working in Los Angeles. His work, reminiscent of vague childhood memories and adolescent fantasies, utilizes photography, collage and mixed media to create strong contextual pieces which are both appealing and alarming to the audience. When his works are viewed as a whole, his obsessions become evident— marble surfaces, hoop dreams, deconstructed portraits of quick-to-rise idols, and the overdone opulence associated with mid-90s celebrity athletes.
