AHSAN JAVAID explores the intersection and evolution of storytelling,
Using his respective painting and drawing practices to evoke competing
narratives, Javaid finds a visual language to express the way that
stories layer on top of each other. Grand narratives inform private
moments, and competing experiences of the world shuffle between each
other. In Javaid's paintings, the trace of one moment hovers at the
surface of another, giving new meaning to the more visible composition.
