Duration: July 19 – August 15, 2025 | Opening: July 19, 7:00 PM
“Faces, Forests and Fortitude” brings together the compelling artistic visions of Adam Gabriel, Lasha Tchrelashvili and Kiko Morales whose distinct aesthetic languages converge in a profound exploration of the human condition. This exhibition invites visitors to delve into themes of identity, transformation, and the intricate relationship between our inner selves and the vast, often unseen worlds surrounding us.
In Faces, Adam Gabriel’s multi-layered portraits, rendered in cool blues, greens, and vibrant accents, pose deep questions of identity and vulnerability. Gabriel’s overlapping faces explore the fundamental inquiry, “Who are we?”, prompting viewers to reflect upon their own sense of self and shared humanity.
Transitioning to Forests, Lasha Tchrelashvili transports visitors into fluid, dreamlike landscapes characterized by vivid yellows, deep blues, and ethereal pinks. His expressive, semi-abstract canvases, such as “Little Wanderer” and “Dreams in Pink,” embody transformation and the unseen dimensions of existence, providing spaces for introspection and imaginative exploration.
The theme of Fortitude is masterfully embodied in Kiko Morales’s meticulously detailed works that merge precision with surreal symbolism. Morales portrays goddess-like figures enveloped in intricate symbolism alongside monochromatic nude forms adorned with vibrant, blossoming flowers in his “Resilience” series. His art deeply investigates themes of identity, destiny, and the poignant duality between vulnerability and strength in the face of life’s challenges.
Collectively, Gabriel’s evocative portraits, Tchrelashvili’s contemplative landscapes, and Morales’s symbolic narratives illuminate a shared quest for understanding the internal dialogues of the self, the journey of personal evolution, and the resilience necessary to confront life’s complexities. “Faces, Forests, and Fortitude” offers a rich visual tapestry celebrating diverse artistic expressions while highlighting universal aspects of our humanity.
We warmly invite you to the vernissage on Saturday, July 19th, at 7 PM. This exhibition has been thoughtfully curated by Natalja Nouri. The evening will open with a welcoming speech by Nour Nouri, Director of Pashmin Art Gallery, followed by an insightful lecture from Dr. Davood Khazaie, Literary Art Critic and International Curator.
