Ayyam Gallery Dubai (DIFC) is pleased to present Dance in the Dark, the solo exhibition of Tehran-based artist Mohammad Bozorgi.
Coinciding with the Holy Month of Ramadan, Dance in the Dark features a selection of new paintings and, for the first time, silkscreen prints by the accomplished calligrapher.
Bozorgi’s latest body of work resumes the theme of his 2016 exhibition at Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Against the Darkness, as he seeks to communicate a sense of hope through beauty in spite of the brutal wars that have devastated the Middle East. In these awe-inspiring compositions, Bozorgi describes the splendour of the universe as evidence of divine creation, particularly the tranquility and magnificence that can be found in the natural world. With vivid colour and delicate line work, he transforms Arabic text into fluid forms that travel across the canvas.
