Shabnam Jannesari
MaiatoFitz Art Gallery & Studio, Inc. is excited to present Shabnam Jannesari, our Featured Artist throughout the month of June.
Born in Isfahan, Iran.
“I am illuminating the plight of the Iranian woman – censored by an overreaching patriarchy. My paintings are expressions of my personal story, but they are also reflections on the life of Iranian, and suppressed, women in general. I address the complex reality of Iranian female identity from my unique personal experience. My work will consist of large, highly saturated oil paintings with figures that are roughly life size. Though I will work with paint, I am interested to maintain the immediacy of drawing to avoid rendering my forms too closely. Working in this way allows me to experiment with form, color and abstraction in my imaginary that departs from reality and supports a special and secret space against reality.”
