!!!Ayman Zedani !Ayman Zedani was born in Saudi Arabia in 1984 and spent his early years moving around Saudi Arabia due to his father’s profession. With a lifelong interest in experimenting with chemicals, the eventual goal of opening a lab led him to pursue an undergraduate degree in biomedical science at Griffith University in Australia. While in Australia, he followed his interest in art and undertook several courses leading him to more seriously pursue his interest. Zedani works are marked by an advanced expressionist quality, and move away from realism in their application of shapes and forms drastically altered from their usual configurations. He has spent time experimenting with a range of mediums, including photography, digital art, illustration, and painting. Zedani’s scientific background is evident in his continued experimentation with technique and photo processing, as well as his affinity for prisms and geometric forms. Zedani’s experimental work calls up, and explores, the idea of the role of self, in all its formation. The infinite repetition found in the prisms Zedani frequently draws on in this exploration brings into question the idea of an objective, singular self, and puts forward experimentation and creation as avenues for navigating the constantly evolving self. !!

أيمن زيداني 

ولد أيمن زيداني في اململكة العربية السعودية في عام ١٩٨٤، وقضى سنواته األولى متجوال في جميع أنحاء اململكة بسبب مهنة والده، مع طموح دراسة العلوم الذي قاده ملتابعة الحصول على شهادة البكالوريوس في العلوم الطبية الحيوية في جامعة غريفيث في أستراليا.و بينما كان في أستراليا ، تابع اهتمامه في الفن و أجرى

العديد من الدورات مما دفعه إلى متابعة أكثر جديه. 

وتتميز أعمال زيداني بالتعبيريه، و االبتعاد عن الواقعية في تطبيقها من األشكال والنماذج والتكوينات الغير املعتادة، وقد قضى وقتا في التجريب بمجموعة من الوسائل املختلفة بما في ذلك التصوير الفوتوغرافي، و الفن الرقمي ، والرسم، والخلفية العلمية لزيداني ساعدته على فهم مبدأ التجربة وهنا وجد إسلوبه.

  أعمال زيداني التجريبية هي ماتميزه، و إستكشاف دور الذات في جميع تشكيالته، التكرار و االنهائية وجدت في ورشة عمل زيداني فكثيرا ما يعتمد على التنقيب

في هذه الفكرة.

!!!Artist Statement !!!All of my work revolves around my interest in the ephemeral nature of the universe. What starts off as mere observation soon becomes debased in hegemony of perspective, leaving a new synthesis of experience both for the viewer and myself.

With influences as diverse as the Higgs-field phenomena to Andy Warhol’s repetitive trend, new narratives are manufactured from both technical knowledge and metaphysical interpretation. Linear interplay of structure as well as a manipulation of various medias are utilized to coherently explore ideas of my attempt to understand the concept of an outer world and its link with one’s internal world; or rather, interpretation.

The appearance of the external world is only importance in how we interpret it on a daily basis. Our belief in the external world is crafted from our understanding of both orderly and random experiences, and through logic harmony with nature is possible. My interest by the theoretical limits of the universe is manipulated with my understanding and handling of perspective.

We experience everything through the lens of our connection, directly or indirectly. At the end of the day, we are never isolated beings, and our understanding of the world is derived through our links, asymmetrical or not, we avoid annihilation and linearity by these connections fighting against the meaningless of existence.
