The colour blue is saturated with meanings – freedom, imagination, inspiration, sadness, spirituality, wisdom, peace and much more. And at this exhibition, you will find works by a multi-generational group of artists with different expressions exploring the dialectic between meaning and visual sensation. You have until January 7 to catch this exhibition.

Green art gallery

At this solo exhibition, New York-based Iranian artist Maryam Hoseini presents paintings on geometrically shaped, vertically oriented panels. The panels present equally abstracted figures – cast between the human and the animal – displaying their confinement, displacement, and subjugation. As the paintings draw us closer, we become a ghostly third-person observer within the space of the paintings themselves. This exhibition runs until January 7.
