Kamrooz Aram: Palimpsest: Unstable Paintings for Anxious Interiors

Kamrooz Aram: Palimpsest: Unstable Paintings for Anxious Interiors - Anomie Publishing; 2014 - 80p; 31x26cm

This monograph on Iranian-born, Brooklyn-based painter Kamrooz Aram (b.1978) presents the Palimpsest series, which was in part inspired by graffiti on the streets of New York, and its constant painting-over by the authorities, only for it to become covered again in graffiti. The ongoing cycle of painting, covering-up and repainting in the urban environment connects with Aram’s long-standing fascination with modernism and the legacies of Abstract painting.
