Asma Akber’s solo exhibition: An affair of vivid hues and enigmatic shapes
Syeda Asma Akber is a self-taught painter, but this description hardly does justice to her creative talents. Her connection to art seems to have been established in her early years. As a painter, she explores non-figurative, mostly non-objective, and naturist themes. Asma’s work is deeply rooted in physiological experiments, incorporating elements of illusion and emotion.
Her use of colour is rich, expressive, and evocative of nostalgia. Through her personal techniques, she skillfully captures the play of light and the essence of nature in her paintings. Drawing inspiration from her vivid imagination, nurtured over many years, she delves into life’s eternal truths and reminisces about her childhood.
At the end of August, DIMORA inaugurated the exhibition Dove si disseta l’anima mia, a solo show dedicated to the artist Chris Rocchegiani, curated by Erica Massaccesi and accompanied by a text by Giacomo Pigliapoco. This new exhibition project stems from an intense dialogue between the artist and the curator, marking the beginning of a new phase for the DIMORA space, located in a historic apartment in the heart of Jesi.
