Omar Rashan

Indianapolis based artist Omar Rashan’s range of work include traditional methods, mural work as well as graphic and product design utilizing imagination and cutting-edge digital graphic platforms. The abstract compositions that he so expertly produces in rich palettes of paint, ink, aerosol and mixed media create enigmatic statements which often incorporate symbols, highly rendered upon canvas or wood panel. These works are an exploration of textural abstraction, graphically striking images, linework and detailed emphasis which reveal to the onlooker layer upon layer of fresh color, form and depth resulting in a strong physical presence which the artist hopes offers the feeling of optimism, connection and an invaluable form of human expression.

Rashan’s figurative creations capture subjects in crisp representational or realist styles, evoking vulnerability and luminous, sincere clarity of immediate perception. In addition to creating fine art the enterprising thirty-eight year old artpreneur is a thriving illustrator who brings ideas to life for clients by creating finished drawings or paintings of a storyline or product. These combined efforts have brought his creations farther into the arts mainstream through participation in a number of juried exhibitions. His work has received noted awards and the prolific artist has pieces held in private collections.
