Omar Rashan · Indianapolis, Indiana

Art that invites you to stay a little longer.

I create paintings and immersive experiences that open space for memory, imagination, and new ways of seeing.

The practice

A painting can hold more than one way in.

As a Neuro Artist, I bring painting, tactile surfaces, and augmented reality into conversation. Color and texture invite the first look. Memory, story, and interaction give the work room to keep unfolding—long after the viewer walks away.

Fishing for Ideas

Two perspectives on stillness, imagination, and the courage to remain curious. Both works were acquired during BUTTER preview night, before the public opening.

“Stillness. Imagination. A bigger catch.”

A child sits with a fishing line and a world of possibility. The boombox carries memory and rhythm; the pause leaves space for an idea to surface. The two works invite us to remember what it felt like to wait, wonder, and be present. Their augmented reality layers extend that moment beyond the canvas.

At BUTTER

Watch what happens when people step closer.

Visitors paused with the paintings, held up their phones, and discovered the AR layers for themselves. These moments of curiosity and connection are part of the work.
