The art has a mysterious yet introspective quality that reflects an inner calm. The simplicity of line, unique color choices and abstracted areas merged with faces resonate with the quiet, stasis of the canvas. It is this quiet presence that the artist seems to achieve with the paintings. The figures he uses are also mysterious, for they are often quite inaccessible to the eye. It is not until the viewer gets close to them that they become recognizable. In this way, the paintings are more like compositions for the performance than the work of art.The title of the show, Para-Composition, evokes the form of a composition, for in this case a composition with a painted surface. However, in this instance, the surface is composed of small, flatly painted rectangles. Each of these rectangles is an equal size, or sometimes a little larger than that, depending on the color of the paint used. The paint is applied by the artist in a single, sweeping stroke. The painting is done on a dark, slightly scumbled white ground. In the background is a dark grayish blue and grayish-greenish green canvas. All the rectangles are white. The color is quite natural in its expression and the smooth, smooth, uncolored surfaces show no marks. In the foreground, the blue and green color is clearly visible and the painting is in the background. The color of the background is a bit too bright and the painting is too dark. In this way, the painting itself becomes a composition for the performance. The painting, a composition for the performance, is a form that is connected with the paintings in the show. This painting, a form that is connected with the paintings in the show, is a kind of spatial composition. The paintings and the surface are connected. The artist creates a spatial composition by applying paint directly on the surface of the canvas. This painting is not simply a painting on a canvas. The painting is a spatial composition that is connected with the surface of the canvas and the painted surface. The surface becomes a spatial composition that is connected with the painted surface.
The art has a mysterious yet introspective quality that reflects an inner calm. The simplicity of line, unique color choices and abstracted areas merged with faces resonate with a sense of purity. The line and the color are indifferent; there is no absolute order, but rather a mixture of the various states of being. The air in the work is calm, almost serene. The forms are simply and carefully designed; the colors are pure.The colors are meant to be used as a mask for emotion; they are intended to be used for expressing it. The colors are never used in a way that would make the colors glow, but rather in a way that would make the colors appear unnatural. The colors and the shapes, rather than being an attempt at creating a unified identity, are instead an attempt to produce an unruly range of feelings and feelings. This is how the colors come off. In this work, the colors and shapes are used as a kind of blank canvas; the colors and shapes are used as a kind of barrier, which creates an atmosphere of calm, almost sereneness. The shapes are used to create an atmosphere of mystery and concealment, as well as to create an atmosphere of unity.The feeling created by the colors and shapes is very different from that produced by their use as a mask. The colors are intentionally used in a way that obscures and hides their natural qualities; they are used in a way that creates an atmosphere of mystery and concealment. The shapes are used in a way that obscures and hides their natural qualities; they are used in a way that creates an atmosphere of mystery and concealment.

The art has a mysterious yet introspective quality that reflects an inner calm. The simplicity of line, unique color choices and abstracted areas merged with faces resonate with emotion. The complexity of form is vivid and clear.The reason for this might be the work of one of the most gifted artists in the show. Karim Altaf is an Iraqi-born, California-based artist who came to the United States in 1979. In the past, his work has been shown at the Oakland Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. His work includes large-scale images, usually of architectural sites. He is a modernist painter, and he draws his imagery from the past and present. He draws on the technologies of the time and the forms of the time. His imagery is often romantic and mythological. His works are abstracted, sometimes nearly obliterated by their theme. Altafs major works are at the moment, of course, the large-scale oil paintings. In these, the subject is always clearly depicted and expressed. His expressive style is not limited to color, and there is no exaggeration. In the larger works, the subjects are often lost in abstraction, lost in the frame, and appear more subdued than they actually are. The color is always striking and there is no mistaking its referential value. But Altafs color is all his own. His work is about more than painting and the past, and it is about painting that exists in the present. He depicts the future without using it as a substitute for the past. A painting is a picture, not a picture made by painting. In this exhibition, Altaf presents his paintings in a manner that is clearly at the level of the present, and that is also a painting. This is not to say that the paintings have no meaning; on the contrary, they are part of the present. However, the paintings are the product of a secret and personal expression, and the paintings possess a timeless quality. In them, time is repeated and the past is like an echo.The works in this exhibition are grouped into three categories.
The art has a mysterious yet introspective quality that reflects an inner calm. The simplicity of line, unique color choices and abstracted areas merged with faces resonate with a feeling of melancholy. Jigsaw, the most complete work in the show, was a masterpiece in itself. It was made up of six equal sections, each of which was different but all depicting the same human figure. The four large and the three small were drawn in a single style, both containing an absolute commitment to the same idea. The works consisted of an arranged grid that divided the entire space of the gallery into four equal squares, each composed of a single dark grey line. The central line of each square was drawn directly over the central line of the grid. The two dark grey lines paralleled the central line of the grid, and the two lines of black behind it were also parallel. The dark grey line formed the surface of the painting, and the black of the wall behind it, and the white of the floor behind it were also parallel to the central line. The space was made up of six small white circles, each with a blue outline of a face; in the background of each circle, a white circle with a white outline, and in the middle of each one, a single black rectangle was created. The result was an abstract yet real space that reflected Jörg Immers spatial ideas. The scale, shape and color of the painted area itself was also revealed in the small white circles, which were created in the same way as the paintings, but with a different, almost black, outline.The images in the drawings were not created with the intention of being merely graphic. They were derived from the mind, as the artist explained in a text accompanying the show. The drawings were painted on paper, each with its own material, and therefore had to be handled with an almost total precision. However, the artist had to understand the rules and principles of the material. He had to know the way to paint them, and he had to remember the order and consistency of the material.
with the way we connect with and read the world.In a year when the terms of culture are increasingly fluid and encompassing, the feeling of mystery and purity was palpable. The work can be read as an allegory of the civilizing process, a metaphor for the way we view the world.
