The works of Mohamed al-Hawajiri present the spectator with stunning, immediate impact.  Using basic subjects and honest, raw techniques, Hawajiri creates the effect of timeless art.  These paintings have the power of tribal art without falling into ethnic categories, their effectiveness comes from the artist’s trust and practical use of an intrinsic ability of his to concentrate emotional charges; he knows this ability and he uses it well. 

Hawajiri is a hardworking artist; his works show a devotion to the making of a painting, with its physical and painterly aspects.  He does not dilute his natural energy in any attempt of legitimization through any acquired intellectualization or conceptualization of art, such attempts, by other artists, we have seen come and go. 

The force of two goat heads colliding, the power of their horn-lines, and the contrasting fragility of human body, are all brilliant and earthy subjects that the artist uses very successfully.  Executed in bold, free, and diverse techniques, these works retain a power seen in Aboriginal art, or in some prehistoric cave art, or in some prehistoric cave art of an unknown master from a desolate land. 

Ammar Khammash, 2002
