SUMMARY:Darvish: Enrapture
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is described by the gallery as “a visual dialogue\, suspended between Occidental heritage and Oriental sensibilities” and “rooted in the belief that love is a direct conduit to the Divine – a state that dissolves societal constructs and expectations\, dismantling the walls they build between our true nature and the infinite …”\nDarvish acts as the living thread that ties the paintings together\, his presence an unfolding rhythm that draws the room into a single\, shared frequency. “The work represents a quiet refusal to be shaped or subdued by worldly constructs. Turning away from the discordant noise of the mundane\, the artist aligns instead with a primordial pulse ­– a deep\, indwelling frequency that guides the spirit into a state of heightened clarity …” \nAbove: Darvish\, Fly-By (2026)

SUMMARY:Ayad Alkadhi: Sunken Republic
DESCRIPTION:Based in New York\, Alkadhi has academic degrees in art\, engineering\, and design – and as a result brings a multidisciplinary approach to a practice that engages with the cultural and political realities of global and Middle Eastern events. \nThis exhibition reflecting the turbulence of political conflict\, social unrest\, and survival. Figures twist and merge\, anatomical precision is disrupted by drips\, neon bursts\, and dissolving edges\, battle scenes or fever dreams are evoked\, echoes of historical grandeur meet ghostly overlays and street art grit … The result\, as the gallery puts it\, is “a diasporic\, hybrid language that defies categorisation”. \nAbove: Ayad Alkadhi The Four Horsemen (2025)

SUMMARY:Bahar Sabzevari: Ancestral Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Indo-Persian mythology\, Ancestral Algorithms feature a series of drawings\, paintings\, and sculptural works that merge organic and mechanical forms to reimagine the legendary Talking Tree (Derakht-e Sokhangoo) – a mythical being that could speak\, listen\, and connect the human\, animal\, and spiritual realms. Sabzevari reinterprets this ancient symbol through the lens of our technological era\, where the voice of nature evolves into the digital consciousness of AI. Says the artist: “the project explores how storytelling and communication evolve across time — from myth and magic to code and machine learning — revealing that our longing for connection remains constant. The Talking Tree becomes a hybrid network of memory\, where plants\, animals\, humans\, and machines coexist in an ever-expanding conversation …” \nAbove: Bahar Sabzevari\, Party (crown series) (2019)
