MATTER STUDIO GALLERY is thrilled to announce Shadow Matter, an exhibition of Aydin Hamami’s abstract, process oriented paintings. Hamami creates these canvases by the layering and juxtaposition of raw materials ranging from tar, wax, organic matter, and shellac on canvas. While his work focuses on process, his new exhibit in ‘Shadow Matter’ reveals the blurring of the lines between what is real, what is the now and what is the reflection, where these elements overlap and how they are interdependent. What is memory, what is imagined, what we create and where the collective knowledge, energy and experiences of the present condition are recorded, ever fleeting, and continually transformed. These elegant and ephemeral “paintings” record and evoke awareness of shared familiar moments of our universal human consciousness. Opening Reception, Sunday, April 28, 4-8pm Matter Studio Gallery 5080 West Pico Blvd. LA, CA 90019 https://matterstudiogallery.com/ https://www.aydinhamami.com/
