Abrahams’ new works mark a departure from his earlier kinetic line and pattern paintings, whose optical focus conjured moiré patterns and other visual effects. With the new oil-on-canvas abstractions, characterised by large geometric forms painted in bold colour on raw canvas, Abrahams creates visually harmonious, meditative paintings. The sharp compositions—in black, or blue—focus on structure, rhythm, gravity, and negative space.

Since its establishment in 2012, JARILAGER Gallery (Cologne/Seoul) has played a pivotal role as the holding company for UNION Gallery (London) and has expanded its reach with the recent opening of its doors in Seoul’s Gangnam district in 2023. Jari Lager serves as the director of both entities. Over the course of a decade, JARILAGER Gallery (Cologne/Seoul) has evolved into a distinct entity while maintaining collaborative ties with its sister gallery, UNION Gallery, located in London and managed by William Gustafsson.
