Leila Heller Gallery Dubai is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Iranian-American artist Afruz Amighi, Mångata, on view from April 29th – June 15th. It is fitting that Amighi titled her upcoming exhibition with the Swedish word “Mångata”, a word that has no direct English translation. Instead it is a description of the glimmering, road-like reflection that the moon creates on the water - which acts as an invitation to consider how reflection and light create key experiences within this body of work. In this context, essential aspects of Amighi’s creative practice come to the fore. Her use of cast shadows direct what becomes illuminated with installations that allow for intimate experiences with the viewer. Innovative objects and shapes emerge from material that surpass their modest origins playing on the brilliance of what glistens when it gets touched by light.
