Alternate Reality

Alternate Reality

Expression is an excavation of the psyche; an introspective journey through the realm of conflict & trauma, passion & subjective sensitivity.

There is an urgent desire to break down the boundaries between art & life through intense, non-naturalistic coloring & loose brushwork, reiterating a recurrent theme. It borders on a "cultivated rebellion", striving for freedom of life & living.

I use visual metaphors for the ethos of iconography. For me, the articulation of both the inward as well as the outward aspiration to reveal hidden truths is important. It is a dichotomy of sorts. Led by instinct, formal surface qualities are a means, not an end, revealing my very own inward vision. This is an extension of my own self, seeking an intimate, subjective communication between myself & the viewer.

Color is merely a tool to hide pain consigned to the unconscious - personal, social, political, universal - pointing to a powerful inner life!

"I love him whose soul is deep even in its ability to be wounded, & whom even a little thing can destroy." — Die Brucke

I dedicate this (& all future shows), to the memory of my father, Dr. M. B. Azami...the man I owe my life to!
