Giorgio Griffa/Kamrooz Aram: Paintings
Alexander Gray Associates Gallery, West 26th Street 510, 10001 New York, Manhattan
About
An exhibition presenting paintings by two artists, Giorgio Griffa and Kamrooz Aram, at the American Academy in Rome, curated by Ilaria Puri Purini. The show sets the two painters in dialogue, examining how abstract painting speaks across time, touching on ornament, presence and loss, and the relationship between modernism and its so-called non-Western response. Griffa, born 1936 in Turin, works with elementary gestures on unstretched, foldable canvases, while Aram, born 1978 in Shiraz, draws on motifs from Islamic artistic traditions such as the arabesque, beginning each composition with a grid he then wipes away. The two artists met in Turin in 2024, and the exhibition extends the conversation they began there.
