Three New Works by Abol Atigetchi: Between Memory and Matter

Oblong Contemporary is pleased to present three significant paintings by Abol Atigetchi, now on view at the gallery in Dubai. These works mark a powerful continuation of our ongoing collaboration with the artist and reaffirm the conceptual depth that defines his practice.
Across decades, Atigetchi has cultivated a distinct visual language that navigates the space between personal memory and collective history, between raw material and metaphysical resonance. The three works currently on display reflect this tension with particular clarity. Each canvas becomes a site of transformation — where abstraction absorbs geography, history, and human experience into fields of layered pigment and charged surface.
These works reaffirm the strength of Atigetchi’s early 1990s period — a time in which his vocabulary of abstraction matured into a deeply reflective and internationally resonant practice.
At Oblong Contemporary, our continued collaboration with the artist reflects a shared commitment to painting as a space of contemplation and transformation. Between memory and matter, Atigetchi invites the viewer not to decode, but to experience — to enter the painting as one enters a landscape of thought.
The works are now on view at the gallery in Dubai.
