ABOUT SHIRIN MIRJAMALI:
Shirin Mirjamali (b. 1983, Iran) lives and works in Tehran, Iran. She received her MFA in painting from Soore University in Tehran-Iran. She is a member of the Iranian painters Association. Throughout the show, Mirjamali invites the viewers to enter into a dialogue and to engage with the work, with their minds and bodies. Her artistic process is intuitive; she does not know where each piece will end when she begins. She instead follows her thoughts and emotions, letting the colors and materials guide her, until she reaches a resolution. The resulting works hold a delicate balance of contradictions. They are intimate and grotesque, visceral and elegant. Humorous and haunting, violent and cerebral, raw yet shielded by the cloak of aesthetics. Mirjamali explores the tension between our inner and outer worlds, our bodies and our minds, the unburdened joy and the deep sorrow of womanhood, our spoken words and our hidden desires.
