The work of Ammar Khammash addresses spatial structure, both on the ground in the open landscape and in the painting itself. As nature builds spaces within folds in the land, reflected in rugged topography, and between the horizon and the sky, his works seek to understand nature and dwell on the issues of spatial perception. Khammash explores the human visual process and its evolution from a survival skill to the more inquisitive philosophical obsession of modern humans. In his paintings, he manipulates both the natural landscape and the visual possibilities in order to get closer to a deep intrinsic relationship between the human mind and the landscape that shapes it.

In conjunction with an exhibition of new paintings by Jordanian artist and architect Ammar Khammash, entitled "Landscape and Light," Khammash will be launching his new book, Ancient Landscape: The Landscape Paintings of Ammar Khammash, just released by Images Publishing Group. The book includes full colour images of the artist's landscape paintings from the late 1970s to the present. The publisher describes Khammash as a "multi-disciplinary contemporary artist" who "paints with a probing vision that few others attain, enabling him to explore and discover the inner anatomy of the landscape, beyond its fragile cloth."
