Kuram Nimri
Jordan, b.1944
A pioneer of modern Jordanian sculpture, Kuram Nimri got his B.A. degree from the Fine Arts Department at Damascus University in 1966 and went in 1973, on a training course to design sets for coloured television at the B.B.C. in London. A sculptor who mostly works with olive wood, he had a short training in marble sculpture in Carrara, Italy. He works around the knots and grain of his medium, transforming it into abstract shapes of the human figure.
