Reviews

• Jim Welke, "Elements of Whimsy: Adnan Charara at N’Namdi", artifizz, October 17, 2014. "Adnan Cha­ra­ra brings a sly sense of humor to his work. He paints, does collage, and creates sculpture from found objects. Found or not, nearly all of the works in this exhibition possess elements inherently in con­flict, while to the eye they maintain aes­thet­ic harmony. Conflict creates dramatic ten­sion, imposes a narrative arc, but in Cha­ra­ra’s work it brings the funny too. In this show, the work projects wry humor. That’s the hook to bring you closer."
