Nima Nabavi: Sunrise at the Vortex

The second solo exhibition by Nima Nabavi at the gallery features new works that mark a significant evolution in the artist’s practice, reflecting a deepened commitment to introspection, geometry, and modes of making that embrace technology alongside traditional tools. Created in concentrated bursts within makeshift studios in Roswell, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Dubai, the resulting works “exude increasing complexity and intensity in both form and colour” as the gallery puts it.

Born in Iran in 1978, Nima Nabavi is a self-taught artist now based between Dubai and New York. His practice centres on grid-based compositions of elaborately layered, ordered forms; this mathematical approach and repetitive numeric symbolism rely heavily on advanced planning, precise calculations, and self-developed methodologies to ensure the vital structural accuracy of each work – “this contemplative execution of intricate geometries aims to build complexity out of simple forms and reveal the emergent harmony and inherent beauty of our shared reality”.

To 27 July.
