Aman Aheer

Aman Aheer is an artist working between and against painting and sculpture. Distorting these traditions through the incorporation of waste, iron, nails, and thread, Aheer’s practice considers questions of failure, splitting, and legitimacy. Drawing on Arte Povera and Neo-Tantra, Aheer extrapolates forms and symbols from religion and ritual life, and segments individual parts of the human body, the animal, and the object. Through these gestures and methods of abstraction Aheer’s work dwells on lack, weakness, and humiliation, and the different manifestations these affects bring forth. He lives and works in London.

Recent solo exhibitions include Half [CHAPTER 6, Shanghai, 2026]; Twin [CHAPTER 6, Shanghai 2024]; body double [indigo + madder, London 2023]; and Man is Not a Bird [St. Peter’s Church, Cambridge 2022]. Selected group exhibitions include Non-Residency [Jaipur Center for Art, Jaipur 2025]; Exhibitionism [Rajiv Menon Contemporary, Los Angeles 2025]; Votive [Hypha Studios, London 2024]; and The Glass Bead Game [MAMOTH, London 2021]. Aheer was selected to participate in the Dystopia Sound Art Biennial in Berlin and his public sculpture The Middle, produced in collaboration with King’s College London, was installed on the Strand in the autumn of 2024.
