Intersect 21 Installation view, Phil Akashi Ink and fluorescent spray paint on canvas, ultraviolet light 160 x 240 cm Phil Akashi's work investigates questions relating to the act of transgression as a powerful tool that allows the liberation of the creative energies. The artist incorporates multiple layers of languages* from East and West and uses light as a manifestation of spiritual energy. The compositions of Arabic, Chinese and English characters and hues of the artwork are revealed in the presence of ultraviolet light. By doing so, he engages his audience with a reflection on unlimited tolerance, open-mindedness and positive reasoning. Between visible and invisible, between light and shadow, a new, expanded idea of calligraphy takes shape. #philakashi #museumofmodernart #calligraphy #tolerance #light #shadow #transgression #uvblacklight #eastandwest #arabic #chinese #english #language @altiba9 @philakashi #contemporaryart #fineart #intersect21 #intersectartanddesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CLY8PzdB8VH/?igshid=1xjhnrbozazca
