NOW THE DOVE AND THE LEOPARD WRESTLE AT FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON: Hesam Rahmanian
Past exhibition
Overview
Hesam Rahmanian's new explorations in collage revitalize leftover scraps of dried acrylic from his palettes and paint pots. His diptychs and triptychs similarly vivify the improbable by uniting disembodied or headless animals with miscellaneous objects. The resulting hybrids, such as pliers chirping from a crow's body, appear animate despite being incomplete suggestions formed of peculiar contradictions.
Rahmanian's latest works show a tranquil, spontaneous and visually reductive creative course, wherein animals, objects, and humans emerge intuitively from unexpected, often grim, realities to dwell in an enigmatic world.
