About The Artwork
The Republican Elephant is illustrated using a quote from Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954 when asked about his thoughts on the New Deal. He responded that anyone who opposes those programs would be committing political suicide. Meanwhile in today's political climate New Deal policies are often seen as too far left even for the Democratic Party, let alone the republican party. Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid -President Eisenhower, November 8th 1954 تم توضيح الفيل الجمهوري باستخدام اقتباس من الرئيس الجمهوري دوايت د. أيزنهاور في عام 1954 عندما سئل عن أفكاره حول الصفقة الجديدة. ورد بأن أي شخص يعارض هذه البرامج سوف ينتحر سياسيًا. في هذه الأثناء ، في ظل المناخ السياسي الحالي ، غالبًا ما يُنظر إلى سياسات الصفقة الجديدة على أنها بعيدة جدًا حتى بالنسبة للحزب الديمقراطي ، ناهيك عن الحزب الجمهوري. إذا حاول أي حزب سياسي إلغاء الضمان الاجتماعي والتأمين ضد البطالة وإلغاء قوانين العمل والبرامج الزراعية ، فلن تسمع عن هذا الحزب مرة أخرى في تاريخنا السياسي. هناك مجموعة منشقة صغيرة ، بالطبع ، تعتقد أنه يمكنك القيام بهذه الأشياء. من بينهم عدد قليل من مليونيرات نفط تكساس ، وسياسي أو رجل أعمال في بعض الأحيان من مناطق أخرى. عددهم لا يكاد يذكر وهم أغبياء - الرئيس أيزنهاور ، 8 نوفمبر 1954

Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
