Armin Najib: -continuum
Aisha Alabbar Gallery, Dubai
18 September - 9 November 2024
Aisha Alabbar Gallery presents -continuum, a compelling art exhibition by ARMIN NAJIB (b. Tehran, 1989) that delves into the ongoing evolution of human existence. This collection traces the transformative journey from the fluidity of circles to the rigidity of squares, symbolizing the various stages of life’s profound changes. It reflects humanity’s pursuit of perfection and salvation while embracing the inherent beauty of imperfection.
This exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in the human experience, to lean in, learn, and ultimately lead through a deeper understanding of life’s complexities. The collection presents the human journey as a series of ongoing projects—creations, connections, and collaborations that continuously evolve. It serves as a poignant reminder that we are living installations, constantly in progress, shaped and reshaped over time.
“This exhibition marks a new chapter for Aisha Alabbar Gallery, bringing together a remarkable series of works that chart an evolutionary journey,” said Shilan Samaei, Gallery Director. “We are thrilled to open our doors with this exhibition by Armin Najib, where each piece beautifully reveals how shadows of the past merge seamlessly with reflections of the future, offering viewers a profound exploration of transformation and growth.”Among the highlights of the exhibition is the Me, I and Existence collection. “This selection serves as the DNA of my work,” said Armin Najib. “Like a script for directing a movie, these pieces form a visual narrative of humanity’s shift from a life once content on a round earth to a present where meaning is sought within self-made cubes. This evolutionary journey is captured and celebrated in each piece, showcasing how we cocoon ourselves in layers of history.’’
Armin Najib's -continuum is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue, offering new insights into the works on display and the broader context in which they exist.
