Intersecting Landscapes
Sorour Abdollahi
September 7 – October 12
OPENING RECEPTION with the artist
September 12 at 7:00pm.
Free. Wine and light refreshments will be served.
“These works depict the impact of the transient processes and the traces they leave on communities, places, buildings and people, where the external environment bears the markings of accumulated human impact, and at times disrupted by external influences and rapid pace of change. Therefore, while some paintings depict ruins which are fading and shifting, other works depict widely emerging landscape of development and dynamism. ” – Sorour Abdollahi
