✨ Kamrooz Aram’s exhibition Infrequencies at Alexander Gray Associates in New York brings together paintings made over the past six years. Working in oil on canvas, Aram shifts from grid-based abstraction toward gestural lines, layered color, and curvilinear forms. The paintings explore ornament, structure, and memory, creating tension between control and flow while reconsidering modernist abstraction through repetition, variation, and evolving compositional systems.
Visiting Kamrooz Aram’s exhibition 'Infrequencies' offers an immersive look into the artist’s evolving style that thoughtfully balances control and spontaneity. From my recent visit, I was particularly struck by how Aram’s layering of thin washes and curvilinear forms reveal a dynamic process, where the paintings develop over time rather than presenting a static image. This approach invites viewers to appreciate the tension between rigid structure and fluid movement, a hallmark of his departure from earlier grid-based works. The interplay of overlapping lines and sweeping gestures creates depth and invites contemplation about memory and ornamentation within modern abstraction. Watching these compositions unfold reveals Aram’s skill in balancing repetition and variation, which keeps the eye engaged and challenges perceptions of form. For anyone interested in contemporary art that pushes the boundaries of abstraction while honoring its history, the exhibition provides valuable insight. Attending a free exhibition in such a premier New York gallery is a unique opportunity to witness the continuity and transformation in modern painting firsthand. It’s also rewarding to observe how Aram’s works evoke both a sense of control and an openness, making each piece feel alive and evolving.
