Postcard for opening reception on Thursday, October 20 at Aicon Gallery
NEW YORK---Aicon Gallery presents "Walking with My Mother’s Shadow," the first major New York solo exhibition by Indiana-based artist Anila Quayyum Agha. In 2014, Anila’s now iconic sculptural installation Intersections was awarded the top awards at the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, MI, and was also voted the Alpha Omega Prize Artist of the Year. Last month, one of Agha's works was also offered by Christie's auction house. Her current work in this exhibition reflects on the complexities of love, loss, and gains; experienced by her over the past year. The exhibition opening tonight is Agha's first major solo exhibition in New York City and with Aicon Gallery.
