Exhibition Details

Aicon is proud to present In Lights by Rasheed Araeen, a solo exhibition of the artist’s recent paintings and wall structures, centered around two brand-new neon works. With a career spanning over six decades, including six solo exhibitions at Aicon’s New York gallery, Araeen’s In Lights brings together his iconic geometric wall structures with new and innovative works, showing that this minimalist master has no sign of slowing down. During the course of the show, Aicon will host a book launch and reception celebrating Araeen’s 2024 publication, 'Art and Institutional Racism'. In this collection of essays, Araeen confronts the British art galleries and institutions who excluded his work and made it “extremely difficult to communicate meaningfully and exchange ideas.”
