A recep- “tion will be held for the opening of the exhibit ~ Sunday, August 12 from 2 to 5 p.m. ‘The show, which includes watercolor, sculpture, acrylic and drawing, is a selection of 30 pieces of Hakim's life work done in three different phases. “My work, which often changes, looks like it be- longs to three separate people,” said Hakim of the various stages of his art, not unlike that of the various stages of life itself. “I've always liked the social comment phase of my work which began in 1969 and is on-going. It has enabled me to get my message across about what is happening in the world.” While Hakim continues to use all mediums to express his “social comment”, his versatility is evident in his realism and abstract work from the early "70s. Hakim considers himself an experimenter and ~ colorist and began using watercolor, shaped can- vases and collage construction in 1971. His sculp- tures are free form except for some of his work which carries social comment. Hakim uses con- finement as the central theme of many of his sculp- ‘tures and uses what he calls a vacuum-formed plastic sculpture machine to form plastic around his subject matter. His most recent work has consisted of moon shots and flying saucers includ- ing one of his experimental pieces, entitled, “Lunar “What is significant about Hakim'’s art is his use of materials from the environment and his versatil- ity in all mediums,” said Brian Benedetti, director of the MacDonald Art Gallery. He uses a wide range of materials from magic markers to car paint and crumpled paper to old weathered wood. One of his watercolor pieces, “Backyard Still Life,” is com- posed of a weathered grey telephone pole, shovel, stones, flowers, lantern, white fence and an old axe—all pieces he collected for his backyard com- position. As one might imagine, his backyard land- scapes change periodically as he searches for what he calls, “new pieces of the elements that surround us.” Hakim strives for a particular reaction from his viewer and has done a number of series of works particularly on social comment which some view as controversial. : The recipient of over 100 awards for his art works, Hakim has exhibited his art widely through- out the United States. He holds a B.S. in Education from Bloomsburg State College and a master’s degree in Studio Art from Marywood College. Hakim has been teaching art at Plains Junior High School for the past 23 years where he is also the athletic director. He is teaching this summer for the Luzerne County Human Resources Development Council.
