Galerie Mitterrand is pleased to announce, Un objet, un geste, Kamrooz Aram’s first solo exhibition in Paris. The exhibition includes new paintings, collages and a sculptural work. Kamrooz Aram’s work disrupts the false opposition between ornament and abstraction, and challenges ornament’s relegation to discourses of criminality and excess. In his wide-ranging exhibitions, he stages an encounter between the Euro-American avant-garde and non-western forms of abstraction, interrogating the boundaries between art, artifact, and modes of display. His lyrical paintings and arrangements break down the hierarchies of modernist aesthetics, asking that we rethink its categories and re-encounter these ideas andobjects anew. By disaggregating objects from their display, Aram’s installations reveal the role that architecture and design play in the representation of and reception of art.
