Cities, nights and Shadows

The paintings of this exhibition are Amir Ebrahimi's recent works on her favorite themes of Cities, Nights and Shadows. This is the continuation of her previous exhibitions on the same themes in the nineties. Around 2000 she started venturing into a new period of making a series of photo collage paintings which lasted for almost five years. Meanwhile at a slower pace she continued with her oil paintings on the previous themes, which were not exhibited publically.
In 2004, once her work was completed with the last series of the collages, she published them in the collection of “Three books”, titled "To the poet", “The Maze" and the "Cycles". At this point she bid farewell to the photo collage technique mainly because she found it becoming too fashionable and widely used without much content.
The current exhibition is the first showing of the oil paintings created in a decade. A few older paintings are also exhibited as a reminder of Amir Ebrahimi's earlier works in the nineties.
While still working on the same familiar themes, her recent works have changed in dealing with space, composition, technique, view point, as well as the content. Undoubtedly these changes are very much inspired by her previous experience with photo -collage technique. Nevertheless the changes are not merely the result of an artistic decision, but they also originate from the social and cultural changes occurring in the Iranian’s actual social and personal life.
Influenced by the overall changes and through a long process, Amir Ebrahimi's realistic style of painting has become elaborated, more complex and at times has grown into a somewhat surreal style.
