Raha Raissnia: نور (Nour)

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Empty Gallery is pleased to present the Tehran-born, New York-based artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

نور (Nour) Meaning ‘light’ in the Persian language, presents new works by Raissnia that assemble an idiosyncratic syntax of architectural, natural and technological forms to construct multilayered ‘somewheres’ that traverse past and present, memory and imagination, transient moments and the accretion of time.

In many ways the thematic lodestar of Raissnia’s practice, light is deployed by the artist as a technical and philosophical medium for its ability to uncover realms and entities which evade our grasp.
