Elham Ghorbani Shad, painting artist, is exhibiting her new artworks from The Other Self Collection at Saye Art Gallery.
This spectacular exhibition showcases the artist's creative path in changing her self-portrait photos to paintings. It will run from July 03rd to 15th in the venue and continue online until August 08th, 2020, at http://www.biafarin.com/theotherself.
Like her other series, Elham's focus in The Other Self is women and the human condition in modern societies. This time, she has created photographs from herself and then composed them on canvas and then, through a creative path, transformed the selfies to painting. It is not anymore recognizable that the character in paintings is her; the artist, but it is worth saying that she is a symbol for women in new communities. As Farouk Mazloumi wrote in his statement for The Other Self exhibition, "Body is the purest display of oneself. In other presentations, we as human beings add covers and decorations to serve a purpose, be acceptable, or win others' affections." As Elham Ghorbani Shad showcased in her mixed media paintings, probably the freest pose, known to us, is when we are on our own, alone in our cozy rooms. Anything else, even the selfies we take, is for others, to be shared with someone else, to be accepted by others. Even in the presentational self-portrait, the painter may not recognize herself and meet the other one. The one in the photos or paintings is not us. It is The Other Self.
