Leila Heller Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in the seventh edition of Abu Dhabi Art,
November 18 – 21, 2015, at the Saadiyat Cultural District, booth A7. Highlighting formal
experimentations in modern and contemporary art, the booth features a trans-regional group of artists
who push the boundaries of aesthetics and material possibilities.
In his Endless Prayers series, Y.Z. Kami explores spirituality through the use of light and large-scale
collage. By interweaving mixed-media collages on paper, he uses Persian poetry and religious scriptures
arranged in circles to recall the ritual of prayer and the mosaics of sacred architecture. His Golden
Dome paintings additionally convey a sense of universal spirituality in the form of a central bright light
that spills over countless rows of tiny golden rectangles hand-painted or stamped onto the canvas.
