The Poetry of Line at Aryan Art Gallery at Pars Place (May 3 – Jun 30, 2026)
Join us at The Aryan Gallery at Pars Place for a conversation with artists MJ Kavian and Chee Keong Kung, moderated by Art Director, Roya Chadab. Bringing together two distinct yet deeply resonant practices, the discussion explores the expressive power of line across cultures, disciplines, and materials.
MJ Kavian, an internationally recognized ceramic artist, draws from traditions of calligraphy and poetic mark making, transforming clay into vessels of memory and language. In contrast, Chee Keong Kung’s line driven compositions, informed by architectural precision and contemporary abstraction, investigate movement, structure, and spatial tension.
Together, their works create a compelling visual and conceptual dialogue where ancient sensibilities meet contemporary inquiry. One artist channels the fluidity of script and the intimacy of the hand, while the other constructs layered environments through line and form. In this conversation, line becomes more than a formal element. It becomes language, rhythm and thought.
