Hani Mazhar

HANI MAZHAR

Born in Iraq, Hani Mazhar now lives and works in Britain. His magpie eye for various cultural influences draws from a myriad of sources; from Japanese art through to Mexican literature.

Mazhar’s luminous style weaves together traditional, spiritual and mythical references. Contemporary issues are given context by the richness of individual cultural histories, and our mutual tendency to view past events through rose-coloured glasses.

The resulting paintings are modern and iconic: strikingly original but with a strong sense of permanence- as though they had always existed.
