About the Event

Born in Kurdistan, Stockport artist Amang  Mardokhy has a large body of work exploring the war from which he  escaped. For this exhibition however he shares his collection of live  performance paintings which he creates alongside musicians in a live  collaborative energetic communion in front of an audience. In doing this  he breaks that fourth wall of creativity and eliminates ego from the  process. This enables a childlike space of creation, of trust, exchange  and play in which everyone is welcome and everyone is on board. 

In a world of information overload,  language and words can become superfluous, especially if we all chose to  share space, time and meaning. Exploring a different approach to a  political arts practice, he says “Sometimes when you say nothing you say  everything”. Collaborating together in a creative space is maybe the  most political act of all.

My works are an attempt to attract the audience with a strong abstract language and a strong sense of composition. The use of deep y and earthy tones creates an interesting contrast, evoking landscapes or aerial views, which fits nicely with the “space and nature” theme. Layered silhouettes and textures suggest stories or figures emerging from the environment, inviting interpretation without dictating meaning.

I am in dialogue between nature and space. I want to find my space among nature and find my balance and connections.

There’s also an emotional weight to the compositions—sad but alive. At the same time, they feel meditative and expressive, like a glimpse into a dream or memory. That’s a beautiful, profound concept—this idea of ​​being in dialogue both with the vastness of space and the intimacy of nature. My paintings reflect that tension and harmony; to feel the internal scenery as much as the external ones. The textured layers and figures seem to explore, move, or emerge, mirroring your personal journey towards balance and connection.

There’s something truly poetic about using abstract visual language in my paintings, to express an endless search for belonging—a kind of spiritual mapping. The ambiguity in the forms makes the viewer part of that journey, as if they too are trying to orient themselves in a vast and changing world . . . .
