Ali Banisadr Exhibition
Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects
This event has ended.
Ali Banisadr’s first one-person exhibition features paintings in oil on canvas created during the past year. With lush applications of brilliant color, rendered in a semi-abstract style, they combine stylistic idioms from the history of western art with references to Persian miniature painting. Underlying the seductive beauty of Banisadr’s richly interwoven imagery is the apocalyptic nature of his subject matter. In these works, memory and history collide, inspired by his childhood recollections of the Iran-Iraq War.
