Maps, memories of travel and the crossroads of cultures, are themes that come to mind when one encounters the work of Modhir Ahmed. Ahmed often layers signs, symbols and numbers, developing imagery reminiscent of coordinates, grids and topography. In other works, similar forms are incorporated, however, the resulting images are minimalist in nature, whereby Ahmed considers the interaction between seemingly disparate marks and shapes. Despite their crude appearance, the gestural interactions of his formations, recall the tensions that arise from the polarity of certain emotions.
