Statement:

O Gallery presents “Situation”, a retrospective solo exhibition of works by Samila Amir Ebrahimi (b. 1950 Tehran).

Bringing together works from across two decades (2000 – 2024), this exhibition highlights three distinct periods of her artistic practice.

Following two series of painting-collages, “The Maze” (2000 –2001) and “The Cycles” (2003 – 2004)—both published as books under the same titles—a third collection of oil paintings, begun in 2005, continues this artistic exploration under the name of “Encounter”.

Though created in different periods and through distinct techniques, these three series form a cohesive body of work, deeply interconnected in both form and concept. 

The multi-perspective composition for creating expansive spatial and temporal landscapes is the common thread among all the works from these three periods.
