Rasheed Araeen’s In Lights at Aicon features new paintings, geometric wall structures, and neon works that expand his decades-long engagement with form, space, and institutional critique. Centered on minimalist abstraction and viewer interaction, the exhibition also confronts systemic exclusion in the art world. Araeen’s neon pieces reimagine spatial dynamics, while his painted calligraphic abstractions reclaim geometric visual language beyond Eurocentric frameworks.
