My Head Twirls

April 22 - May 9 2022

O Gallery presents “My Head Twirls”, a collection of paintings by Ali Ganjavi (b.1980 Saari).

In written texts, spaces between chapters, paragraphs and other units of meaning normally express structural hierarchies and create semantic groupings. Spaces in texts define the boundaries of words, paragraphs and sections. They visually reinforce the conceptual organization of a given text and at the same time, facilitate the process of perception by guiding the eye and the mind of the reader. In poetry; however, the function of spaces between words, verses and stanzas is more complex, in that they also create rhythmical sequences and more subtle units of meaning within the parameters of regular syntactical structures. In continuation to his previous collection, Ali Ganjavi, like a poet breaks the order of words and through the use of rhythmical sequences and amplifications, creates a different visual experience by disrupting habits in his visual order. He ultimately seeks to respond to the questions around interpretation, meaning and truth in his work.
