This exhibition was inspired by community, culture, faith & family. The paintings were made by the artist from the first to the last step. The six most recent works were made in the US, beginning with canvas that was bought and prepared in Indonesia. After arriving in Schenectady, Imam stretched the canvas onto wood found in his brother-in-law's workshop using a handsaw, hammer and nails, and a staple gun. Each painting is a hand-made piece of art, as unique as the man who created them. Many thanks to Proctors Theater, the Fenimore Gallery, and our friends and family in Schenectady who helped bring this show to fruition.
