Aman Aheer is an artist working between and against painting and sculpture. Distorting these traditions through the incorporation of waste, iron, nails, and thread, Aheer’s practice considers questions of failure, splitting, and incommensurability. Drawing on Arte Povera and Neo-Tantra, Aheer extrapolates forms and symbols from religion and ritual life, and segments individual parts of the human body, the animal, and the object. Through these gestures and methods of abstraction Aheer’s work dwells on lack, weakness, and humiliation, and the different manifestations these affects bring forth.
