"Ammar Khammash is considered one of the more prominent artists to come out of the Middle East in the 21st century. People find ways of talking about Khammash's paintings. They call them disturbing, unsettling, dramatic, romantic. All these responses are right, to some degree, but that's a mark of how large Khammash's paintings are in size and scope. The pictures are mostly landscapes, cityscapes, desert, forest, mountains, and rocks, interior spaces with an odd building or a figure." "In the work of Ammar Khammash and indeed within this book, readers have a guide to the way an artist can engage in a place or a landscape. Khammash walks the landscape of Jordan and delves into it geography, its folklore, its place names, its geology, and many other features. In this paintings, which are layered and rich as the areas he explores, Khammash deals with space in the way Proust deals with time." --Book Jacket.
