Walid Siti's newest paper, painting and installation work can be seen at his new exhibition at New York's Taymour Grahne Gallery. In the exhibition, titled “Parallel Realms”, Siti takes on the fast social transformation and the obscurity of the future by reproducing the Kurdish cultural figures that shaped his visual vocabulary in a complex and contemporary structure.

Siti is also exhibiting at Dubai's XVA Gallery. His exhibition, titled “Rite of Passage” is going to be on display from 15 March through 17 April.

Influenced by the Epic of Gilgamesh, Siti compares the effects of the conditions back then on people of those times and the conditions of today on the 21st century individual by problemitising the connection between material and ideal life.
