Kaweh Agah

In my artistic practice, I work predominantly figuratively and intuitively. My work is characterized by a dense, often deliberately overloaded visual language in which color, line, and form exist in an expressive tension with one another. Figures, signs, and surfaces overlap, creating open, emotionally charged pictorial spaces. From an art historical perspective, my work can be situated within the context of Art Brut, Naïve Art, and Neo-Expressionist figuration. My series of works do not develop linearly, but rather in parallel, reflecting different states, questions, and formal approaches. While series such as Rebels and Creatures are characterized by visual density, intense color, and gestural energy, more reduced series like Ghosts or the newly created Black Heads represent concentration and presence. With the series Abstraction it is, my work opens itself towards Expressionist abstraction while maintaining a consistent emotional connection to figuration.
