Kamrooz Aram "Of Flame and Spendour"
Perry Rubenstein Gallery (527 West 23rd Street)
This event has ended.
Perry Rubenstein Gallery presents Of Flame and Splendour, Kamrooz Aram's debut solo-exhibition with the gallery.
Aram's paintings explore iconography used in the Islamic and the Western worlds, questioning convenient definitions and categorizations. His compositions are populated with scrolling foliage referencing Persian miniatures and carpet patterns, angels from Shiite religious posters and Giotto paintings, as well as the pictorial language of popular culture. Images and symbols are introduced and re-contextualized so that their very signifier changes; the work becomes an expansion and abstraction of the iconography he uses.
