Improvisations

Statement:

The artists in this group show have distinct visual languages that do find commonalities: they “transform the familiar through acts of care, attention, and intuitive play … a shared attentiveness to what is provisional, such as a line that wavers, a form that repeats with variation, or a gesture made in passing but left to settle”, as the gallery has it.

In Farnoud’s paintings, forms hover between presence and disappearance. Ave’s works honour simplicity, allowing small elements to settle into poetry.

Arabi assembles delicate sculptures, where fragility becomes a kind of resilience.

“In a time that often demands spectacle, these works ask us to slow down, pay attention, and find presence in the modest, fragile, and unresolved …”

There are no grand gestures, no monumental declarations. Instead, there is attentiveness to surface, to material, to what resists resolution.

Flowers, fruits, twigs, small things, overlooked things. Together, they compose poetry of modesty.

There is also a playful curiosity. The artists tweak, return, adjust. Forms reappear in altered states, as if trying on different moods.

The repetition is not mechanical but searching.
