HEDIEH JAVANSHIR ILCHI: AS YOU SPREAD, I AM ERASED
Wyatt Resident Artists Gallery | APR 16 – JUN 12
Opening reception: Saturday, April 16, 6 – 9 pm
In her work, Ilchi explores the notion of “duality” to comprehend her multifaceted cultural identity as an Iranian-American immigrant and the complexities that emanate from such polarized cultural experiences. You’ll experience this through her eyes in her solo exhibition, As you spread, I am erased, this spring at AAC!

Negar Ahkami – a painter originally from New York and northern New Jersey, now transplanted in the DC Metro area.
She makes exuberant and visceral paintings that reflect her obsessions with Persian-Islamic ceramics and other global high and low influences.
Ryan McCoy – based in Washington DC.
He works in various media but is mainly known for his large iconic paintings in which he attempts to structure meaning through specific materials to create a personal iconography about time, place, and memory.
Lyric Prince – based in both Philadelphia and Washington DC.
Lyric draws from the unconscious, seeking to capture energy and emotions that could be recognizable outside of a Western context.
