Hamed Rashtian
October 17, 2024 - November 16, 2024
Equinox Gallery is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new bronze works by Hamed Rashtian. Inspired by the history of concrete poetry and the methods poets employ to abstract literature into visual forms, Rashtian aims to distill poems into single words. In this exhibition, poetry finds new dimensions through the interplay of form and meaning, beckoning viewers to discover and unravel the hidden realms of language and visual art.
The exhibition opens on Thursday, October 17th. For more information, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com

Hamed Rashtian completed his MFA at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver and holds a Swiss Federal Diploma in Higher Education from the F+F School of Art and Design in Zurich.
