In conjunction with Wes Noble, Amir Nikravan will present a group of his Parallax Paintings. This new series of work exploits the inherent possibility of replication that has emerged throught the process in which his works are made; a complex set of procedures that successively remove the physical object while preserving its traces as an image. Aiming to evince the gaps between image and experience, Nikravan's works present the viewer with objects that enact a frustrating disconnect between sight and touch, absence and presence, desire and possession. His Parallax Paintings, which explore the condition in which a seeming or apparent displacement on an object occurs throught a shift in point of view, further expand the artist's interest in imbiguing his works with perceptual, physical and psycological tension. Wes Noble is a collective artist. Making large minimal canvases, often depicting small signs, the attention is drawn to the meaning of symbols that focus the viewer to the details and the elegance of the representation. An ermetical approach is given to the free interpretation of the work, while the content of the canvas, somewhere between abstraction and figuration, let the whiteness of the background to a sort of infinity of the forms drawn like floating in the air.

Amir Nikravan lives and works in Los Angeles. A forthcoming solo exhibitioon at Various Small Fires, Los Angeles, will take place in September 2014. Past gallery exhibition include Greene Exhibitions, Pepin Moore and Rosamund Felsen Gallery.
