His performances often involve him using a social setting, such as a street, as the canvas for his performance – he then enlists the local community to collaborate, adding further authenticity to the everyday life he is trying to depict – Sirat (The Path) is one of his most popular works of this kind.

« I do not just want to create artists, I want to create real players who are good at everything - working with society, and also successful in the art market. »
Abdulnasser Gharem

Gharem has also founded the non-profit organization, Edge of Arabia, as a means of providing an art education and a platform for his fellow Saudi artists – a purpose he is particularly driven to fulfil. (Artist website) Read More
