Jacaylbaro Posted January 24, 2009 Another Amin Amir in the making ,,,,,,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashkiro Posted January 24, 2009 ^Their styles are very different. He's talented, I like the first 2 pieces. The second one is gorgeous, I wonder what or who inspired it. It seems the rest of these pieces are politically motivated and are of the Siad Barre Era and aren't current. I wonder if his art changed with the realities of the country. Are there more perhaps? Thx for sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted January 24, 2009 I'm suspicious about Amin Amir, there is something very sinister about his style and art, the fact that his work is always used as a political tool to mock whatever political side is being depicted is a good indication of this, while this brother on the other hand prefers to paint in a positive style, which i personally can appreciate much more. this is clearly Queen Araweello Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashkiro Posted January 24, 2009 I disagree Adam, I find nothing suspicious about Mr. Amir rather to the contrary. From what I’ve seen I think Mr. Amir is a genious and an important positive element in this saga that is the Current Somalia, namely the political disarray. The Country is in political turmoil and he depicts this reality with political satire in a fair way. Let me stress that, he is unbias which is rarely found in Somali circles. As for Mr. Afey, I’ve never heard of him and these paintings are enjoyable, but are of the past I do wonder if his style may have changed and if he has current paintings. That’s the infamous Araweello? I would have never guessed. It’s interesting he depicted her character in such a way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera Posted January 24, 2009 Well i can't look into Amin's mind when he does his work, so fair enough. That has to be Arraweelo: - Male Servants - Female warriors - Whip lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted January 24, 2009 Ashkiro, these are also his arts, in curent situation, for the artists, they paint what they see in their mind in that particular time, like what inspired them, it is hard to understand how their mind works and how they depict particular time or reality, this man is no comparison to Amin Caamir's arts, their style is different. Some others: of Yemen & Somalia I am not great fan of arts, but I do appreciate the great works done by great men like Amin and Aadan Faarax. Adam lol@whip, it has to be Araweelo, I agree with that.

Paragon Posted January 24, 2009 Impressive stuff, and I said that a former 'fine'arts amateur . That was before I drew Sheikha Dugsiga and got myself bakoor'e'd for shortening his beard. All in all, this artist has produced beautiful works. Bravo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted January 24, 2009 This is very nice work, always like good art though I've never been good at it myself. But amin is more of cartoon political satirist than anything, not much of a great artist. Not really a good comparison between the two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dhimbil Posted January 25, 2009 This guy is good, mansha allah. Amin amir is the only impartial somali commentator on the scene. He does good job of making fun of all losers everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
