General Meeting: Sherif Hakeem Fine Art Hyperrealism of Endangered Animals
September 13, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Sherif Hakeem is a fine art wildlife artist who produces highly detailed Hyperrealistic portraits of endangered species and abused animals using white charcoal pencil on black archival paper. Sherif states his painstaking capture of details is used to create a highly detailed piece in the style of Hyperrealism. He feels this art form provides a more vivid depiction of his subjects than what one can see with the naked eye. He feels this style opens a much deeper and thought-provoking conversation regarding each endangered species and helps give these beautiful and endangered animals a voice for protection.
His goal is to raise as much support as possible by selling his artwork and donating a minimum of 20% to sanctuaries and conservation organizations that advocate for endangered wildlife and abused animals.
His art was recently accepted into the prestigious Society of Animal Artists and in an art exhibition at Art 4 Apes gallery, a Florida Not For Profit Corporation. His work has also appeared on well-known websites including ArtsyShark.com.
Supported by Rancho Cucamonga & Community and Art Foundation Grant and Chaffey Community Museum of Art.
