PAMM presents the first solo exhibition, titled Coming to Fruition, of Miami-born artist Jason Seife. Opening on Friday, May 19 with an opening celebration on Thursday, May 18, the exhibition features all-new site-specific works, including a custom wallpaper, triptychs, and a large-scale canvas.

Seife’s work is influenced by his Middle Eastern heritage, referencing Persian carpets and the intricate details found in mosques and traditional Islamic art. He digitally designs his carpet-inspired compositions, mirroring weavers’ practices of associating patterns or colors with specific locations and communities. Seife then hand-paints these intricate patterns onto a concrete slab or canvas.

For Coming to Fruition, Seife will present his elaborate process, blurring the boundary between artistic process and finished product. The progression of his paintings will be demonstrated in two triptychs that capture different phases from initial stages with minimal paint on the concrete to intricately painted finished products.

Seife has presented solo exhibitions in Dubai, Rome, London, United Arab Emirates, Brussels, and the United Kingdom. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions worldwide, and his pieces can be found in numerous public and private collections. Although his passion lies in painting, Seife has worked extensively in graphic design on projects with some of the biggest names in music, including Kane West, Pharrell Williams, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj.
