DUBAI--Green Art Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming edition of Art Dubai, taking place at the Madinat Jumeirah from the 16 - 19 March 2011. The Gallery will be located in the Arena Hall, at Booth A5. Green Art Gallery will be presenting an artist-focus stand of new works by New York-based artist Kamrooz Aram including paintings, drawings and collages created over the past year. This will be Aram's debut in the region. Throughout his career, Aram has investigated the power of symbols and icons such as hawks, angels, mystical light and flags in an effort to explore the romanticization of cultural, spiritual and nationalistic ideologies and beliefs. By recycling these symbols and bringing them into a new context, Aram questions convenient definitions and categorizations, namely the tendency for viewers to decode such signifiers and more problematically in his view, the tendency to locate binaries and create mythologies.
