Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife: Duality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at The Third Line in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
14 November 2023-5 January 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Duality”, featuring new works by artists Nima Nabavi and Jason Seife, is a showing of two artists working together in symbiosis, a product of an enduring “art friendship”. In ways both literal and metaphorical, the exhibition is a way of putting pen to paper on developments that were organically occurring when two artists who share a particular way of seeing collide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Nabavi and Seife think in color, shape, and line. Up close, the detail is rich and even more complex than either artist had attempted before. There is a subtlety of matching elements in response to one another. There may be a corner of blue, or a hexagon of orange, that at once appears bold as brass to Seife\u2019s eye that becomes a gauzy layering of tones in Nabavi\u2019s execution. Ultimately, they work in very different mediums, and although they may mirror one another structurally, the works retain the telltale idiosyncrasies of their maker\u2019s approach. There is room for plenty of tension, perhaps, in these juxtapositions, but in keeping each work\u2019s independence they avoid direct conflict. Working in tandem like this is hugely revealing. It entails a tangible sense of mutual respect and the deep knowing of someone else which extends, at its most intimate, into the anticipation of their next move. What results is a symbiosis that becomes a pas de deux<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
