Biography
Nadim Karam is a multidisciplinary artist whose work includes painting, drawing, and sculpture, characterised by a unique style influenced by Oriental and Japanese theories of space. His art focuses on the human condition, and he believes in the transcendental qualities of art and the role of the artist in providing alternative blueprints for city functioning—a preoccupation rooted in his architectural background.
Karam studied architecture at the American University of Beirut and then pursued a doctorate at the University of Tokyo in 1982. He served as the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Art, and Design at Notre Dame University in Lebanon from 2000 to 2003 and taught architectural design at the American University of Beirut from 1993 to 1995 and 2003 to 2004. Karam has participated in several international exhibitions, including the Liverpool Biennale (2006), Venice Biennale (1996), Gwangju Biennale (1995), and Shanghai JSIP Biennale (2014), as well as exhibitions with galleries in Lebanon, Dubai, France, Brussels, and London.
