Masks – What Is Behind It?

A remarkable exhibition with an unusual exhibition Title, in the form of a question that points directly to the central content of the visual art presented by Mahirwan Mamtani. 

There is nothing superficial behind but only reality behind the masks which Mahirwan Mamtani wants to depict in his art. A mask, according to Mamtani, not only hides but also emphasizes and strengthens characteristics which otherwise would remain faceless in the truest sense.
