Yafteh Gallery
No.8 Taleghani Dead End | Yarmohamadi street | Daroos | Tehran | IranStatement:
In Zohreh Nezam’s paintings, nature appears not so much as a purely visual and representable landscape, but rather as a field for the experience of colour, material, movement, and visual memory.
Although the artist’s encounter with nature retains a relative fidelity to familiar elements of the landscape - plains, mountains, trees, water, fields, and rural settings - it is fundamentally not a matter of photographic reconstruction of reality.
What becomes significant is the process through which observation is transformed into a painterly language; that is to say, in the course of being painted, nature shifts from an external subject into a perceptual and sensory field.
