Armin Ebrahimi Iranian, b. 1984

Armin Ebrahimi’s (b. 1984 Tehran) works echo within the peaks of our emotions, isolation, and introspection amid deep changes to our social, economic, and political realities. He creates dreamlike scenes that resonate back and forth between the symbolic and the specific. With analogous interests in materiality and the act of making, he uses the specific physical and chromatic qualities to create vague pictorial spaces that frame relationships between bodies. 

Ebrahimi's scenes seem to exist both outside and deeply rooted within this uncertain time, evoking caution, questions, and desires about our bodies in relation to each other. With an interest in metaphor and symbolism, he combines autobiographical narratives with imagery that evokes broader historical references to our cultural identities.
