Upcoming Exhibitions
VIAN SORA
HOUSE OF PEARLS
31 OCT – 5 DEC 2024
The Third Line is pleased to announce House of Pearls, our first solo exhibition with Louisville-based artist Vian Sora. The exhibition presents new paintings and works on paper that explore pearls as a metaphor for achieving stability and the needed structural integrity for life itself to regenerate.
In this new body of work, Sora – an Iraqi-born artist who sought refuge in Dubai following the US invasion of Iraq – explores the fundamental elements of caustic cycles: the solid and fluid violent states intrinsic to nature from which pearls grow, and examines connectivity as an essential element to humanity's collective consciousness. Drawing on her experiences as a war survivor and immigrant, Sora reflects on the uncertainty and shifting boundaries of existence, capturing the physical, mental, and emotional toll experienced across nations, cultures, and time. Her paintings reveal the complex nature of identity and seek cohesion like the iridescent layers of a natural pearl.
