A collection of minimalist & impressionist paintings by artist couple Aamira Abdullah & Abdullah Khan.
These paintings can best be described as minimalist, expressionist, geometric, zen. They use carefully selected colour and large scale to evoke vivid perceptual and emotional responses in its viewers. They are designed to soothe and to allow the mind and eye to wander and relax, to enter an almost meditative state. We wanted to design the paintings to allow one to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of things, to allow attention to be invested a little at a time in an age where we are constantly bombarded with and distracted by visual stimuli, and to slow down a little so one could appreciate the present moment and contemplate it. The idea was also that in a stressful situation, if you were to sit down in front of it, it should calm you, benefit you in some way.
