This is the catalogue for Aniwar's solo exhibition at Courtyard Gallery in Beijing. Highlighted in the catalogue are works created in the 1990s. In these paintings, various cultural motifs from the artist's Uighur background are employed and the theme of the desert is also dominant. Aniwar documents not only his personal visions, but a tension created by the dichotomies between Xinjiang and Beijing, the oasis and the city. Such a tension is visible in the paintings of many artists in exile, such as Marc Chagall, but the sensuality created by this tension is unique to the works of Aniwar. Artist biography is included in the catalogue.
