Ayyam Gallery is pleased to present Nothing is Certain, Everything is Melting, and that’s Okay, a solo exhibition featuring Athier's latest body of work.
Please join us in the presence of the artist at the opening reception on 20 January from 7 - 9 pm.
In a departure from the geometric forms and bold colours that have become a trademark of the British Iraqi painter, this current series created in and of his studio in an industrial suburb of Paris, explore the changing state between order and disorder: attempting to capture compositions that balance and eventually melt harmoniously in their state of transition. This shift can be seen as Athier’s expression of surrender towards uncertainty. The new works incorporate a play between the real and the surreal, the two-dimensional, and the three dimensional. Making colour and light subjects as well as aesthetic devices.
