Journey Within Journeys: a solo show by Ilos Ilyas Elias AKA Kirkan

Take a profound journey through time, space, and self at Journey Within Journeys, a one-day-only painting exhibition by Kurdish-Danish conceptual artist Kirkan, Ilos Ilyas Elias.

Known for his abstract, multi-layered textured paintings, Kirkan invites you to explore not only his art but the emotional pathways each piece inspires. His work defies traditional expectations by leaving the presentation of each painting open-ended—his signature rests on the reverse, giving each viewer the freedom to decide its orientation, reflecting the fluid adaptability of the mind itself.

With an international exhibition history spanning Tokyo, Paris, Copenhagen, and Montreal, Kirkan’s work has been celebrated for its deep, textured collage technique and contemplative essence. Each piece presents an abstract portal into new realms of imagination, challenging viewers to feel rather than judge and to embrace the journey over the destination. Attendees can enjoy complimentary wine, music, and the opportunity to purchase original artwork directly from the artist. This exclusive event at The eARTh Space promises an intimate, introspective experience where the journey through the art mirrors the journey within.
