An
introduction to one of my exabits :
These
works lead us bake to a style, which I had a doped in previous transformation. I
enjoyed taking up that style for a certain period of time. I had the intention
of departing it- as I Really did in some works-so quietly. I quit the style, but
I also remained adherent to it. Despite the ongoing attempts to shake the style
off, certain impacts and effects will definitely remain there as assign of the
root of the newly accomplished work. The living conditions and the problems of
the third world artist could be playing a role in this. Romanticism could also
have a hand. What`s new here is the attempt to invest the spontaneity, which I
adopted for a certain period of time, to create intentional projects that don`t
go far beyond that source of an environmental significance dedicated to contain
a scene that I have missed in my previous works. These works did not conceal,
their external sources, i.e. nature, in as much as they had dedicated nature to
celebrate the glare of its talent components beyond their background.
In the
last decade of my experiment, I used to release my innocent beings within a wide
zone of style, allowing them to wonder in the Mythology of Innocence, I took
important steps in (1991,1993) and the following years. In the work of all this,
I sought to put behind the clamour of a totally unfaithful, negligent and
vicious world.
I my
art- orientation, I went for the inspiration of the most innocent human effect.
That was the world of the inspiration motive of the ancient myth as well as the.
What I
am suggesting here is not a dream. It`s not a metaphysical scheme either.
Rather, it is an attempt to topple the engrossing effect of surrounding
environment. It is also an attempt to embrace whatever purity is left for us.
Ali Najjar. Amman. October 1998

Dr. Assem Abdul Amir
Wrote about him at (
the Content of Drawing) :
Ali
Najjar is another example of an artist who displays total engrossing in drawing
and mey be in sculpture as well. A genuine examination of the results he has
achieved show that he is an artist who is well aware of his mission, and who
exploits this awareness to overcome all the shortcomings, which human beings
suffer. He adopt a style which blends reality as a cause, and Mythology as a
date, thus making us that his orientation enjoys a special novelty both in
content and form.
