Pourea Alimirzaee: Pomegranate seeds

19. März – 23. April 2022

The figures in Pourea Alimirzaees paintings are mostly depicted with long, flowing, slightly wavy hair, which is often black in color. Sometimes it fills the canvas like a curtain, sometimes the hair is made of icecream, or it enfolds the whole figure in brown bubbles, but every time the hair exceeds the frame.

Figures that go beyond the frame are one of the main themes of the young painter. He has created this character, a human between woman and man with long hair, who represents many self-reflections of the artist himself. Hair plays an important role in the works since it is one of the most important types of both human self-expression and the presentation and evaluation of other people. It stands for certain traditional and stereotypical norms and is a signifier of culture, race, gender, social pressures, and belonging. The figures of Pourea Alimirzaee cannot be classified.
