XVA Gallery, Bur Dubai, is hosting 'Words Chimes; Meaning in Movements', a solo exhibition of Simeen Farhat. The exhibition will be on view till January 24, 2017.The abstract forms created out of dyed cast resin have their roots in literature. The texts used by Farhat in her work are poems written in Urdu, Farsi, Arabic, German and English. Personal writings and concerns have a place alongside writings of worldwide importance.Farhat has a strong appreciation for the importance of language in allowing one the opportunity to make sense of a situation that seems to be in chaos. Her work embodies a cloud of letters, words and phrases, decipherable only by locating a word amongst many and tracing its path. The physicality of her work is poetic and graceful, utilizing form and shadow, positive and negative space. It presents an opportunity to step past the chaos and discover the sense.The exhibition is on view at XVA Gallery, Al Fahidi Neighborhood, Bur Dubai, P.O. Box 37304, Dubai, UAE.
