Amenor Contemporary is pleased to present Manifestation of Presence, an exhibition of recent paintings by Masoud Sadedin (b. 1956) which is the first Norway solo exhibition of the artist. Sadedin creates captivating images that resuscitate our sense of time: they invite the viewer to explore a space between reminiscence and the realm of the perseveration. There exists vagueness in the seemingly familiar notion of reality and human beings have shared experience in the essence of that vagueness. Sadedin’s triumph has been on finding the situation, feeling, structure and pictorial medium which transforms this shared experience into a condensed form and structure. Rather than symbols, he is using a field of impressions that is formed intuitively in his mind and then based on essential elements in painting, it is transformed into a final form which surprises himself too. The paintings guide the viewer’s eye through copious layers of paint. Kindling the wistful poetics of a distant, perhaps imagined, memory, Sadedin's vignettes remove themselves from the constant rhythm of time and are captured in precise moment of culmination. The feeling of being suspended in a dream before the alarm jolts one back to reality.
