Parallax Paradigms solo show by Abol Bahadori – ADA Gallery DC Art All Night 2024

Join us for the last showing of my Parallax Pardigms solo show at the ADA Gallery during the DC Art All Night Dupont Circle 2024 Events, September 28, 7 p.m. – 12 a.m. We’ve added a few of my most recent paintings debuting for this exceptional event.

I am honored to be selected by the ADA Gallery, Washington Center of ADA University, for the gallery’s Summer 2024 Exhibit. Working closely with the gallery’s curator, Louette Ragusa, I’ve assembled an intriguing collection from my Perspective and Architectural series that has never been displayed together. A few common elements allowed me to combine these paintings in a solo show, which addresses certain contradictions in unison. Hence, the title is “Parallax Paradigms.”

I now have 30+ small to large paintings in this show that join spontaneous abstract marks with more recognizable elements, such as human figures, flora and fauna while simulating depth using perspective grids and architectural structures. The “parallax” is defined by both the process of layering paint (literally) and the viewers’ perception of color and depth based on the individual/personal interpretation.
