Athier
Athier is a British Iraqi artist who creates energetic, large scale paintings that contain collections of semi-recognisable shapes and objects. For Snowfields Adolescent Unit, Athier painted a series of compositions that seem to appear and then disappear throughout the downstairs corridors and passageways. He responded to the young people’s ideas about transition and journeys, and wanted to create organic forms that could be interpreted in different ways by different people.
