LONDON.- East Central Gallery will present an exhibition curated by Nour Wali of collaborative works by Iranian artists Shoja Azari and Shahram Karimi, showcasing for the first time in a London gallery their revolutionary artistic approach, which intertwines the media of painting and video. Five artworks from the “Oil Series” will surround viewers, re-creating a cinematic experience through the canvases’ glow of mesmerising colours.
