I am thrilled to share with you my upcoming solo exhibition “Traces and Silences” at @highnoongallery . The opening reception is Friday September 8th, 5-8 pm and I hope you can join us. Repost from @highnoongallery

High Noon is pleased to present Armita Raafat's debut New York solo exhibition, “Traces and Silences”, opening Friday, Sept. 8th, from 5-8PM. Formally and conceptually, Raafat’s multimedia sculptures and handmade paper works assert a collaborative sensibility between cultures, movements, and crafts. Blending seemingly disparate forms and media— such as Muqarnas from historic Islamic architecture and subway tiles from New York, where she lives and works— Raafat liberates structure and material from their static associations.
"Untitled," 2023, resin, fabric, paper mâché, mirror, styrofoam, subway tiles, mesh, acrylic, and sumi ink, 58" x 41" x 7"
