Form(s) of Prayer(s): A solo exhibtion by Paul Nickson Atia

The obsessive rendering of miniature squares serves as Paul Nickson Atia's central motif in his latest solo exhibition titled Form(s) of Prayer(s) at Rissim Contemporary in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur from December 19th 2019 through January 9th 2020.

 

Executed in Chinese ink with fine paint brushes or tree twigs on large unprimed canvas, his subject matter and preferred paraphernalia unravel personal narratives that reflect his cerebral pursuits.

 

Expanding from a body of work called Obsesi that was showcased in his first solo - Jari Berlari: Tlinjuk Bi'koduh, a process-oriented presentation that featured spontaneous sketches and drawings at Rumah Lukis, Kuala Lumpur in 2018.  Form(s) of Prayer(s) pays homage to the act of orison through a series of 10-large scale paintings.
