Bavan Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of works by Elham Etemadi on view from December 17, 2021 to January 3, 2022. In the “Poïétique” collection, Elham Etemadi drags out images from the archives of her mind, and fuses them together with dreams and games, and puts them in the frames of her paintings. The concept of playing is very important in all of Etemadi’s works, and she playfully but consciously keeps some initial layers of the work intact, layers that reveal to us the connection between the initial ideas and forms and the final.
