Behnam Kamrani (Iran, 1968) Untitled from the series ‘Ascension’ Mixed media on paper 70 x 49.5 cm
Behnam Kamrani is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist, designer, curator, art critic and academic.
He displayed his work in fourteen solo shows and in more than three hundred group exhibitions in Iran and around the world. He also co-curated the Shanghai Biennial and organised a number of exhibitions on the work of famous modern and contemporary Iranian artists in important galleries in Tehran.
‘My visual world is affected by both Eastern and Western visual culture and I have used both wherever necessary. My earliest works were so much inspired by Iranian painting tradition.’
In this artwork, the focus is on a beautiful kaftan, which occupies the centre of the composition. The artist has chosen for this work a palette of warm colours, colours that in some ways are a reference to mother earth and the natural environment. The only bright spots are represented by what look like fragments of deep blue lustre pottery, which have been preserved underground and which emerge during the excavation campaigns conducted by archaeologists. Provenance: the owner had it directly from the artist.
