Aicon Gallery London proudly presents a solo exhibition by Mubai based artist Baiju Pathan. The exhibition offers a suite of works including painting, photography, video and lenticular prints. In some, different styles of painting exist within a single frame, in others it seems like two different time zones are pictured simultaneously. Parthan also subtly uses mirroring within some of the works and in others the surface is interrupted by dripping computer code. This gives rise to a dizzying sense of multiplicity. Parthan has said:

While virtual reality developers try to replicate and emulate reality in virtual space, virtuality  itself has been undermining the solidity our reality. Probably this is the first time in our intellectual history , we have two categories of reality overlapping each other- virtual reality, and real reality, as most of our contemporary life activities are conducted in virtual data space. One could argue that we have augmented our reality with virtuality.  But from another position one can see how virtual augmentation is leeching away the solidity of the real.

Parthan's new works are both celebration and lament, archaic and super-technological. His use of mirroring, time-lags and alternate realities suggests a world, or a mind, that is disintegrating, the products of a restless gaze that never settles on one thing, or one time zone, for long.
