An exhibition about flight, memory, and the development of an artistic language
With Aflan Gasimov. Illegal. Stations of Arrival. Painting - Drawing - Ceramics, the Große Rathausgalerie in Landshut opens a space for an artistic experience of rare immediacy. The exhibition traces the five-year flight story of the artist since the age of 15 and leads into worlds of images where personal experience, political vulnerability, and aesthetic condensation intertwine.
Between accommodation, waiting lines, and arrival
Gasimov's works arise from a biography marked by loss and reorientation. In paintings and drawings, he captures situations in accommodations, at authorities, underground, and in the new living environment of Landshut. The special power of this exhibition lies precisely in this: The private is not illustrated but transformed into a compelling visual language that oscillates between observation, memory, and internal protocol.
Painting as testimony
The works on display combine figurative painting, graphic intensity, and ceramic works into an open presentation of works. Color fields, lines, and materiality carry the mood of uncertainty, transition, and self-assertion. Those who engage in this contemplation of works experience not a distant retrospective but an immediate aesthetic experience: art as a form of survival, self-location, and cultural arrival.
A young artist with a consistent development
Aflan Gasimov was born in 2003 in Neftcala, Azerbaijan, and has lived in Landshut since 2018. His family left their home country for political reasons; after years in accommodations and a burdensome asylum process, they received recognition and a residence permit in 2023. Gasimov is currently studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Dresden. His work thus stands at the intersection of biographical experience, cultural education, and artistic professionalization.
Exhibition atmosphere in the Große Rathausgalerie
The Große Rathausgalerie in the historic town hall provides a fitting framework for this pre-reporting: a place of public relevance where art, city history, and present meet. The exhibition is part of the art night and the art weekend, making a visit especially worthwhile for art enthusiasts who want to experience the development of the young artist in dialogue with the space.
Conclusion
This exhibition promises no comfortable viewing but an intense artistic experience with social depth. Those who want to understand how an independent artistic handwriting emerges from experiences of flight, memory, and observation should definitely attend the vernissage and the subsequent presentation live.
