RECEIVING AND COLLECTING: Mohammed Kazem

Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde is pleased to present new work by Mohammed Kazem in a solo exhibition entitled Receiving and Collecting.

Throughout his practice, Mohammed Kazem has tried to capture the un-capturable. From his own body and the objects of his quotidian to nature itself, Kazem senses what is un-measurable, sometimes even un-seeable, and transfigures it into a visual work. He observes and measures, yet he does not record. He collects and analyses, yet he does not portray. Rather, Kazem responds to the abstractness of nature. He hears, then renders sounds visually. He sees, then uses action, performance to make a vision manifest. His scratchings, paintings, drawings and sculpture are at the fulcrum of many senses - sound, sight, touch, movement. And each work offers new proof that Kazem has the ability to see what lies beyond sight.
