Art history, fine art, illustration, photography and printmaking were studied within the graphic design degree program at the University of the West of England. Rahim has had the privilege to study with color field abstract painter Ronnie Landfield at the League, figurative artist Jon DeMartin at the classical atelier, Grand Central Academy of Art and Rick Piloco at Chelsea Classical Studio.
Artist Statement:
The Atlantic Ocean and its ever-changing state, serves as a visual metaphor for human emotions. It is my constant source of wonder and inspiration whichever perspective I view it from. As a British expat living in New York, my view is often from the east coast of the United States, Cornwall, UK and Barbados, West Indies. These new works allow me to explore the intersection of abstraction and representation, together with classical painting techniques and contemporary experimentation.
