View The Compelling Art Of Akram Azmi At Agora Gallery
Akram Azmi is a contemporary artist who discovered inicere ("injecting" in Latin), a method where even the artist's hand doesn't interfere with the creation of the work. As different as each of his paintings are, they have a unique, recognizable appearance, unified if only by the life experiences and worldview of their creator.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) July 05, 2011 - Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature Egyptian-American artist, Akram Azmi, in A Maze of Milieu. The exhibition is scheduled to run from July 26, 2011 through August 16, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, July 28, 2011).
About the Artist
Egyptian-American artist Akram Azmi combines pure inspiration and a delicate sense of mood with a self-invented and immensely elaborate painting method, using pumps and precision-engineered machinery. He calls it 'inicere' ('injecting' in Latin) because it injects the paint with many colors while moving the canvas, and it creates wildly imaginative yet deeply profound abstract images. The paintings are somewhat self-directed and will continue to paint themselves even as the artist walks away. He purposefully invites random variables such as paint thickness, water temperature, canvas angle and room temperature into the process, which affect the finished product.
Azmi's paintings are immediately compelling, as colors spill across the canvas, colliding and combining to create new configurations of line and form. Drawing from his life experience, spirituality, and longstanding immersion in the evolving field of art, he infuses complementary palettes and innovative approaches into each canvas, resulting in unique and surprising abstract forms. He says of inicere: "I have now what all artists seek: a means with which to inspire and continually be inspired." He now lives in Pleasanton, California.
