On the occasion of the spring event, a merchant and an artist at the Flea Market of Paris, We are pleased and honored to present you the en exhibition about Women Life and Freedom, Zan, Zendegi, Azadi.
With the exhibition Be Our Voice : The Woman Iranian Touch, Galerie Maryam Ahi brings together the work of 9 female Iranian painters. Tahereh Afjali and Faezeh Baharloo’s paintings are based on a spring poetry composition and engagement that intertwine social conscious- ness and the dreamlike environmental landscapes of Iran while Mahroo Asgari and Sima Shahmoradi’s works and collages challenge the taboos related to women position, as well as issues they face with political and social freedom with harder propositions. Parvaneh Raza- ghi focus is above all on women inside feelings and psychology, Mina Sabzi’s on transformation of land in Iran by abstract expression. Sahar Salehi mixes intuitive photography, collage and painting processes with a conceptual practice rooted in emotions, memories and history. The concepts of covering up, hiding, and privacy manifest as layered collages, touches, lines, effects. With Claustrophobia, Asal Fallah in an amalgam of the protuberant compositions of dreams parts with un- conventional materials as ink pen and forests she articulates fear, anxiety, loneliness, loss, and inequality in the surrealistic moment. Maryam Ahi is a passionate dealer, gallerist, and an independent cura- tor and cultural lover based in Paris. She has deeply focused on the work of young and mid-career Iranian artists working in Iran and, seeking to support their artistic choices and also to facilitate aware- ness and cultural dialogue between artistic communities. Since 2014, with the gallery space located in the Flea market of Paris, Maryam is showing several propositions of spaces mixing iranian art, contemporary art and XX century design. She is proud to propose you each season a new exhibition and a new combination of possibilities creating the bridge between middle-east and western world.
