Ala Ebtekar's newest body of work brings together divergent places and times, in a hypothetical confluence of ancient traditions and the imagined future. Inspired by the delicacy and intricacy found in Persian manuscript illuminations and Islamic architecture, Ebtekar employs the image and metaphor of the the portal, the gateway into the next, or the future. The works are filtered and serene, some with all color removed, resulting in a purified air of minimal forms. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10am - 5:30pm and Saturday from 10:30am - 5pm.
