Description

Landscape painter Ammar Khammash has a deep knowledge of the landscape of his home country, Jordan. A practising architect, and closely involved with a wide range of design and research projects, Khammash has also studied archaeology and anthroplolgy, giving him an even closer connection to this native land. Armed also with his extensive knowledge of the geology and flora of Jordan, this multi-disciplinary contemporary artist paints with a probing vision that few others attain, enabling him to explore and discover the inner anatomy of the landscape, beyond its fragile cloth. This book presents the ancient, spiritual, and almost supernatural landscape of Jordan, home to countless prophets and saints, as seen through the eyes and brushstrokes of Ammar Khammash.
