by Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde Location: B12 Gallery
Date: 29 Sep - 22 Oct 2009
B21 gives Fereydoun Ave an encore; his second vivacious show with the gallery, comprising the pre-Islamic wrestling hero Rostam wandering amidst a foreboding and uncharted territory of rapacious hyenas and vultures. Ave sees his art through a uniquely historical and pluralistic lens, whereby ancient mythological creatures can signal a sea change in time, provide an omen of ‘creative destruction’, and still allow a modicum of hope.
