Sepand Danesh

The research of the Franco-Iranian artist Sépànd Danesh gathers around a world nourished by silences and free interpretation. Each of the works admits the evidence of a solitude governed by the own history of the artist, whose family fled Iran after years of war, and of a new French culture whose language he had to learn. through the books.

In his paintings, the corner becomes the main subject: traditional image of the punishment of the child, it is here a place of contemplation, imposed or not. A few carefully chosen iconographic elements nourish these verticalities and thus offer a different interpretation each time.

The artist has also endeavored, since the beginning of his French childhood, to copy the sums of great writers, such as Marcel Proust. It is a slow and meditative gesture that admits the idea of a language to be learned in an imposed and strict way.

A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris (2010), his work has been exhibited in individual and group exhibitions in the FRAC PACA and Poitou-Charentes (2017) at the Galerie des grands Bains Douches in Marseille ((2016), at the Musée decorative arts in Paris (2016), at Mac/Val (2015), and at the Cité des arts in Chambéry (2014).
