Palimpsest: Unstable Paintings for Anxious Interiors, Kamrooz Aram
Installation view at Green Art Gallery, Dubai, 2014
"I can’t believe I had to go to Dubai to see such an impressive show of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Kamrooz Aram. His latest series combines his experience in Turkey during Occupy Gezi with his usual sensitivity to color, space, and intuitive geometry. As a special bonus, Aram was one of the winners of the 2014 Abraaj Group Art Prize and created a fantastic installation at the Art Dubai art fair. His commissioned piece was a departure for the artist and it allowed him to explore his interests in three-dimensions."
