Haris Ahmad Artist Reception- Montclair Art Walk
Artist Reception October 18th, 6-9pm
for Haris Ahmad at The Art Garage as part of
Montclair Art Walk!
Haris Ahmad’s drawings combine figuration and abstraction to
explore and express hidden narratives.
Objects and figures emerge from dark environments or a series of
energetic marks. The mundane becomes charged with whatever is in the artist connected
to the depicted image. Haris’ drawings are often minimal and can use negative
space as a strong compositional element. Along with the existential, memory is
also a central component in my work. A sudden intense moment, a series of
moments, or an active visual path leading the viewer both literally and
metaphorically through the conveyed memory. It’s not enough for the viewer to see
the objects and figures. Haris wants them to read the passage of time and
recognize it as a derivative of memory based on the visual cues he has placed
in the drawing.
