We are thrilled to return to @untitledartfairs Miami next week, with our three-person presentation “The Missing Figure.”
Our booth features recent works by Ahsan Javaid, Sid Pattni, and Ammama Malik at Untitled Art Miami Beach. The Missing Figure brings together three artists whose practices explore the notion of absence—literal, figurative, and aesthetic—within the contexts of migration, colonialism, and gender.
Ahsan Javaid, a Pakistani artist, investigates the politics of migrant labor and cultural heritage. His paintings depict mannequins in Gulf markets, reflecting on the erasure of humanity within contemporary labor economies and the
complexities of belonging.
Ammama Malik, also from Pakistan, creates richly layered paintings that draw on Baroque and Renaissance techniques to explore identity, nostalgia, and the politics of concealment. Draped fabrics obscure the body in her works, offering a poetic meditation on visibility, gender, and self-representation.
Sid Pattni, an Indian-Australian artist, examines diasporic histories through a postcolonial lens. His work engages themes of empire, displacement, and historical erasure through the deliberate removal of human figures and
reimagined representations of colonial artifacts.
Together, the artists examine how the “missing figure” can speak powerfully to histories of displacement and resilience, reframing absence as a site of memory and meaning.
