Fragment and Division

Event Name: Fragment and Division
Artists: Kamrooz Aram

If form carries the memory of its making and surface becomes a record of time, Fragment and Division reveals painting as a field where multiple histories and visual logics intersect. The exhibition explores how motifs, patterns and architectural cues can shift from decorative reference into expressive force, opening up surfaces that unfold like palimpsests rich with trace and tension.

Kamrooz Aram presents nine new paintings that examine how pattern and surface operate beyond ornament to excavate their own inheritances. Each work emerges through revision and layering, where remnants of earlier decisions remain visible — pointing to labor, instability and the unstable logic of visual memory itself.

The exhibition offers an opportunity to experience painting as a living archive of choices and erasures. Visitors are invited to see how repetition, symmetry and disruption work together to reflect on how art history, cultural reference and material practice converge in contemporary visual experience.
